Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.
Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really happening.
