Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex twice unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
