The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming bout.
Ex two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Opponent
In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the novice is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
