I will stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Mindset

"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.

Paul's Background

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

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

Size Disparity

As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really going ahead.
