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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair met personally to promote next month's heavyweight fight.

Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I will break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.

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

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
