Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "break" the American as the pair confronted each other to build hype for next month's heavyweight fight. Ex twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge mismatch - at Miami's venue on 19 December. Fighter's Attitude "I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, declared. "I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think. "I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention." Civil Interaction In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer. Taking Aim at Tyson Fury Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated. "I give him credit for that." Legitimate Fighter Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Jake Paul's History Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional. He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023. Financial Success However, the novice is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings. Forecast and Confidence The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now. "The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul said. Physical Difference As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
