I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's boxing match.

Former two time unified title holder Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.

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

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

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

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making huge paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
