Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.
Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.
Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.
Boxer's Mentality
"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.
Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.
"I give him credit for that."
Serious Fighter
Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.
"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.
Paul's History
Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.
He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.
"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
