I will dominate 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former two-time world boxing king Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a mammoth disparity - at Miami venue on December 19th.

Boxer's Mentality

"I plan to injure his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.

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

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
