I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

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

Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout.

Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Mindset

"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared.

"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."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.

Size Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
