I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters met personally to build hype for next month's bout.

Ex two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.

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

"I intend to genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Size Disparity

As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is really happening.
