I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair met personally to publicize next month's bout.

Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

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

Civil Exchange

In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Size Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
