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

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul face-off

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

Briton Joshua said he will "overwhelm entirely" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the two fighters came face-to-face to promote the upcoming bout.

Former twice unified boxing king Joshua faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th.

Fighter'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 the boxer's mindset.

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, criticized UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.

Size Disparity

As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
