I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.

Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

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

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
