Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Ex twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
