I'll stamp all over 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed live on the streaming platform.

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

Former two time unified title holder Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Mindset

"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

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

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

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

Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Commercial Success

Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.

Size Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
