I will dominate 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.

Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

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

Respectful Exchange

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Size Disparity

As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
