I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.

Ex twice unified title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
