Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
