Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Financial Success
However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
