Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.
Physical Difference
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
