🔗 Share this article I'll overwhelm 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on Netflix. Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" his opponent as the combatants met personally to publicize next month's bout. Former twice unified boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Attitude "I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated. "I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think. "I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention." Respectful Exchange In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal. Targeting Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory. "Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer stated. "I give him credit for that." Serious Fighter Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake is a serious fighter," he stated. Jake Paul's Background Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023. Commercial Success Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial paydays. Forecast and Belief The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now. "It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared. Physical Disparity As both boxers met for the customary face-off, 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 proceeding.
