I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.

Former two time world title holder Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.

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

"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, at the same time, targeted British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
