I'll overwhelm 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

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

Briton Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.

Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.

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

"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
