🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be shown in real-time on Netflix. British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's bout. Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on 19 December. Boxer's Mindset "I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal." Civil Exchange Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said. Jake Paul's History Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro. He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year. Financial Success Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge paydays. Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now. "The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated. Physical Difference As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
