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-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout.

Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.

Size Difference

As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
