I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' 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 shown live on Netflix.

Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.

Ex two-time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

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

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Success

Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.

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

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
