Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
