I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.

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

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather targeted ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is actually happening.
