Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

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

Civil Exchange

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

Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

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

Physical Disparity

As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
