I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.

Ex two time world title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the novice remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
