🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform. Briton Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants met personally to promote next month's boxing match. Former twice world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December. Boxer's Mentality "I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Civil Exchange Despite those words, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other. Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win. "Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated. "I respect him for that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a credible opponent," he said. Jake Paul's History Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro. He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year. Commercial Success Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning huge paydays. Prediction and Belief The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now. "It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said. Physical Disparity As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
