I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua
The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.
Ex twice world boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.
Fighter's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."
Respectful Exchange
In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Opponent
Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.
Paul's History
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.
"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters met for the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
