I'll dominate 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming boxing match.

Ex two-time world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

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

Respectful Exchange

In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Still, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.

Size Disparity

As both boxers met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
