Boxer's Attitude

"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

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

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

Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

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

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly happening.
