Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really happening.
