I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

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

Respectful Exchange

Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

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

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

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

Size Disparity

As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
