I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.

Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Mentality

"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Respectful Exchange

In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.

Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

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

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Joshuaโ€“Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
