I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.

Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Mindset

"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Still, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.

Size Disparity

As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is really going ahead.
