I'll overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.

Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

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

"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
