The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former twice world boxing king Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
