I'll overwhelm 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.

Ex two-time world title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

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

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.

Paul's History

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

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning massive paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
