The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
