Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.
Former two-time unified title holder Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
