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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.

Former two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.

Fighter's Mindset

"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I will really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

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

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really going ahead.
