I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.

Ex twice world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

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

Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

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

Financial Attraction

However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
