Boxer's Attitude

"I will injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

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

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.

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

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
