I will stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

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

British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.

Former two time unified heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's 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 superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.

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

"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

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

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

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

Physical Difference

As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
