Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
