I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.

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

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a ÂŁ1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Still, the novice remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Size Disparity

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