I'll 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 broadcast live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote next month's bout.

Ex twice world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.

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

"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

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

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.

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

Size Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
