The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually happening.
