Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. 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 Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

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

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is really happening.
