I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.

Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge disparity - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

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

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.

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

Size Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
