The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Civil Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.
Financial Attraction
However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
