Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Mindset
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As both boxers engaged in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
