I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's bout.

Former two-time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Exchange

Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

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

Size Disparity

As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
