Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
