I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's heavyweight fight.

Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.

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

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

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

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

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Difference

As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
