I will overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on Netflix.

Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.

Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I will damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.

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

"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's History

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

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters met for the usual face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
