I will overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.

Ex two time world title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Fighter's Mindset

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Civil Exchange

In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Paul's History

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

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As both boxers met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
