I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.

Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.

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

"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
