Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

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

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

Civil Exchange

In spite of those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the usual confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
