Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.
Former two time unified boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.
Fighter's Mentality
"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.
"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.
"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."
Respectful Interaction
In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.
Targeting Tyson Fury
Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.
"I acknowledge that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Difference
As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
