🔗 Share this article I'll stamp all over 'serious combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round contest which will be streamed in real-time on the streaming platform. British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair came face-to-face to build hype for next month's boxing match. Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua meets YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Mindset "I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal." Respectful Exchange In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other. Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer. Targeting Tyson Fury Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win. "Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Opponent In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a serious fighter," he stated. Paul's Background Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing. He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023. Financial Attraction However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now. "It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared. Size Disparity As both boxers met for the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
