Fighter's Mindset

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.

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

"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

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

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

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

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

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.

Forecast and Belief

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

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly happening.
