I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform.

Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "dominate completely" the American and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's heavyweight fight.

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

Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."

Civil Exchange

In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

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

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.

Size Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly happening.
