I will overwhelm 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.

Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

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

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

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

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really happening.
