I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

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

Ex twice world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually happening.
