I'll overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote the upcoming bout.

Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

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

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

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

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.

Size Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
