🔗 Share this article I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix. Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight. Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December. Boxer's Mentality "I will injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset. "I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do." Respectful Interaction In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other. Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer. Targeting Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented. "I acknowledge that." Legitimate Opponent In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year. Financial Attraction However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards. Prediction and Confidence The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now. "It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said. Size Disparity As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
