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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former two time world title holder Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Fighter's Attitude

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.

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

"I will really want to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning massive earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually going ahead.
