I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming bout.

Former two-time world title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly happening.
