I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

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

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to promote the upcoming boxing match.

Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I will break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

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

Civil Exchange

In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

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

Physical Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
