I'll overwhelm 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
However, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
