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 said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.
Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Attitude
"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will really want to hurt him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Fighter
Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Confidence
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Difference
As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
