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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami's arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

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

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
