🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'credible combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform. Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters met personally to publicize next month's boxing match. Former two-time unified boxing king Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December. Boxer's Mentality "I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think. "I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention." Civil Interaction Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated. "I respect him for that." Serious Fighter Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a credible opponent," he said. Jake Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Commercial Success However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings. Prediction and Belief The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now. "It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated. Physical Disparity As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
