🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-round match which will be streamed live on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "defeat" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote next month's boxing match. Former two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on 19 December. Boxer's Attitude "I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, said. "I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think. "I intend to genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my goal." Respectful Exchange In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said. "I respect him for that." Serious Fighter Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent. "Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said. Jake Paul's History Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional. He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year. Financial Attraction However, the novice is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings. Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now. "It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared. Physical Difference As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
