đź”— Share this article I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform. British boxer Joshua said he will "stamp all over" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the two fighters came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming heavyweight fight. Former twice unified heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive disparity - at Miami arena on 19 December. Boxer's Mindset "I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said. "I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think. "I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention." Civil Interaction Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory. "[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented. "I respect him for that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability. "Jake is a credible opponent," he stated. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro. He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023. Financial Success Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings. Prediction and Confidence The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated. Physical Disparity As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
