Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's bout.
Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
