Fighter's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.

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

"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

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

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
