I'll stamp all over 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

Anthony Joshua will face Jake Paul in an eight-bout contest which will be streamed in real-time on Netflix.

British boxer Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the pair confronted each other to publicize the upcoming boxing match.

Ex two time world title holder Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive uneven pairing - at Miami arena on 19 December.

Fighter's Mindset

"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

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

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making substantial financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
