The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.
"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
