I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.

Former twice world title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

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

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

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.

Forecast and Belief

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

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

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters met for the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
