Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.
British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's bout.
Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.
"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."
In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.
Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."
Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.
He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.
The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.
"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.
As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
