The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on Netflix.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
