I will dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.

Former two time unified title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.

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

"I will really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
