I will overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's bout.

Former twice unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.

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

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

Respectful Exchange

Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
