I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming bout.

Ex two-time unified title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.

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

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

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

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

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
