I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."
Civil Exchange
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.
"I acknowledge that."
Serious Opponent
Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.
Jake Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.
He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.
Commercial Success
However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.
Physical Disparity
As both boxers met for the traditional 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 match is truly proceeding.
