British boxer Joshua declared he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants confronted each other to build hype for next month's bout. Ex two-time world boxing king Anthony Joshua meets social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, by the numbers, a huge uneven pairing - at Miami Kaseya Center on December 19th. Fighter's Mentality "I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said. "I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality. "I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention." Civil Exchange Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other. Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul. "[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said. "I respect him for that." Legitimate Fighter In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent. "Jake is a credible opponent," he said. Paul's Background Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

Forecast and Confidence The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now. "It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said. Size Difference As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
