Fighter's Attitude

"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.

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

"I will really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

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

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for 2026.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is really going ahead.
