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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout match which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match.

Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."

Civil Exchange

In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his dramatics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters met for the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
