I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-round fight which will be broadcast in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "dominate completely" Jake Paul and "break" his opponent as the two fighters confronted each other to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.

Former twice world boxing king Anthony Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th.

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

"I intend to genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."

Respectful Interaction

Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As both boxers met for the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
