đŸ”— Share this article I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix. British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's bout. Former twice world heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th. Boxer's Mindset "I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I will really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Civil Exchange In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other. Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win. "[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated. "I respect him for that." Legitimate Fighter Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability. "Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said. Jake Paul's History Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional. He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Commercial Success However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards. Prediction and Confidence The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared. Physical Difference As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really happening.
