I will overwhelm 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the pair confronted each other to promote next month's bout.

Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge mismatch - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mindset

"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

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

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

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

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.

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

Physical Difference

As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really happening.
