The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers met for the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
