The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.
Ex twice unified title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Size Difference
As the two fighters met for the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
