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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the combatants met personally to build hype for next month's bout.

Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge disparity - at Miami's arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

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

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually proceeding.
