I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.

Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

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

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually happening.
