I will stamp all over 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer will face Jake Paul in an eight-round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "overpower" his opponent as the pair came face-to-face to publicize the upcoming bout.

Ex two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth mismatch - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

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

"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

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

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

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

Commercial Success

However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making huge financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters engaged in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
