I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.

Ex two time world boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
