I'll stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "break" the American as the pair met personally to build hype for next month's bout.

Former two time unified boxing king Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

Despite those words, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou rejected a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

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

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.

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

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
