I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Ex twice unified boxing king Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.

Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

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

Size Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the customary confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
