I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on December 19th.

Fighter's Mentality

"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

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

"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

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

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
