I will overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on Netflix.

British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

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

"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

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

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Size Difference

As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
