Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Difference
As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
