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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming boxing match.

Former two time unified title holder Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
