I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be streamed live on Netflix.

British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Ex two-time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

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

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

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

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul met for the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really going ahead.
