I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Targeting Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
