Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.

Commercial Success

Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning huge paydays.

Forecast and Belief

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

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
