I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.

Ex two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I will damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is really happening.
