I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua

Fighter's Mindset

"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, said.

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

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

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters met for the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually happening.
