Boxer's Attitude

"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Exchange

Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer commented.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning substantial earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly proceeding.
