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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize next month's boxing match.

Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

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

Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.

Forecast and Belief

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

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
