I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants came face-to-face to promote next month's bout.

Ex twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Fighter's Mentality

"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.

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

"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning huge paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually happening.
