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 stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
