I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight round contest which will be shown live on Netflix.

British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" the American and "overpower" the American as the pair confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.

Former twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's venue on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

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

"I'm going to really want to injure him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
