I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's bout.

Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I will break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Still, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

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

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

Size Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
