I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

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

Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming bout.

Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I will injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning huge earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

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

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
