I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.

Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is really proceeding.
