I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote next month's boxing match.

Former two time unified boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.

Fighter's Mindset

"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Exchange

Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

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

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
