I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.

Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's bout.

Ex two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Civil Interaction

In spite of these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

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

"Jake is a serious fighter," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the novice is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
