Fighter's Attitude

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
