I'll dominate 'serious combatant' Paul - Joshua

Fighter's Mentality

"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

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

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

Respectful Interaction

Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
