I'll overwhelm 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.

Size Disparity

As both boxers met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
