Boxer's Mindset

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.

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

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
