Fighter's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

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

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

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

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.

Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul participated in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is really proceeding.
