I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight.

Ex two time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
