I will dominate 'credible fighter' 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 streamed live on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.

Ex two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

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

"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

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

Financial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.

Size Disparity

As the two fighters met for the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
