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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match.

Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

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

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

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

However, the novice is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making huge financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.

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

Size Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
