Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on December 19th.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
