Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.

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

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

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.

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

Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.

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

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
