I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

The British boxer prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight round fight which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.

British boxer Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "overpower" his opponent as the combatants confronted each other to promote the upcoming boxing match.

Ex two time world boxing king Anthony Joshua battles YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.

Boxer's Mentality

"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making huge paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
