Fighter's Attitude

"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.

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

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

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
