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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.

Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.

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

"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

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

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Jake Paul's History

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

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Still, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

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

"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.

Size Disparity

As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly happening.
