Fighter's Attitude

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

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

"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
