Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
