🔗 Share this article I'll overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform. British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match. Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's arena on December 19th. Fighter's Attitude "I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Civil Interaction In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer. Targeting Fury Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory. "[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Opponent In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake is a serious fighter," he said. Paul's History Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro. He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Financial Success Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now. "The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated. Physical Difference As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
