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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.

Former two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

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

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

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

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the novice remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really proceeding.
