I will dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to promote next month's boxing match.

Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

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

Respectful Exchange

Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.

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

Size Disparity

As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
