I'll stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Joshua declared he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the two fighters confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.

Former two time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

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

"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my goal."

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.

Size Difference

As both boxers met for the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually happening.
