I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be shown live on Netflix.

Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the pair met personally to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.

Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on December 19th.

Fighter's Mentality

"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

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

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
