Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Commercial Success
However, the novice is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
