Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming bout. Former two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th. Boxer's Mindset "I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said. "I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I'm going to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.
