I'll overwhelm 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

However, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

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

Size Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
