I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.

Former two-time unified title holder Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive mismatch - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Fighter's Mentality

"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
