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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

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

British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Ex twice unified title holder Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

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

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

Respectful Exchange

Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Paul's Background

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.

Size Difference

As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
