🔗 Share this article I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round match which will be broadcast in real-time on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "overpower" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight. Former two-time world title holder Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami venue on December 19th. Fighter's Mentality "I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated. "I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset. "I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's what I want to do." Civil Interaction Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other. Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Fury Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year. Commercial Attraction Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial earnings. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026. "It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said. Size Disparity As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really proceeding.
