I will dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

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

Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.

Ex twice world title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Boxer's Attitude

"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

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

Paul's Background

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

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning massive earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As the two fighters met for the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
