I will dominate 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's bout.

Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.

Fighter's Mentality

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Civil Exchange

In spite of those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly happening.
