I'll stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the pair met personally to publicize the upcoming bout.

Ex twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on December 19th.

Fighter's Mindset

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

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Respectful Interaction

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Still, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
