I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

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

Ex twice world boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Mindset

"I'm going to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.

Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge paydays.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
