I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize the upcoming heavyweight fight.

Former two time world heavyweight champion Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge mismatch - at Miami venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Attitude

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

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

"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

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

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.

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

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually happening.
