Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's bout.
Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Opponent
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.
Jake Paul's History
Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.
Commercial Attraction
However, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial earnings.
Prediction and Confidence
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
