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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.

Former two time unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I will injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
