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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's boxing match.

Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Mentality

"I will break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

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

Respectful Exchange

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

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

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

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

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.

Size Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
