I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.

Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

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

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

Paul's History

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

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

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

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.

Size Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
