Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Paul's Background
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.
Physical Difference
As both boxers engaged in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
