I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua

Boxer's Mindset

"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

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

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

Respectful Exchange

Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Still, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge financial rewards.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really proceeding.
