I'll stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's bout.

Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.

Fighter's Mentality

"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Size Difference

As the two fighters met for the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really proceeding.
