Fighter's Mentality

"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

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

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

Civil Interaction

In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.

Commercial Success

Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.

Forecast and Belief

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

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

Size Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually happening.
