Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the novice is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
