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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to promote the upcoming boxing match.

Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Attitude

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.

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

"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."

Civil Exchange

In spite of those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

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

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

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

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.

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

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
