Fighter's Mentality

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, consistently making massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Confidence

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

"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
