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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's bout.

Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Fighter's Mindset

"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
