I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to build hype for next month's boxing match.

Ex two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Attitude

"I will injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

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

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

Paul's Background

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

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving massive paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
