The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex two time world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Commercial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
