I will overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout.

Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Mentality

"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
