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 pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
