I will overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Fighter's Mindset

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

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

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

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
