Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
