Boxer's Attitude

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will really want to injure him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

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

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Size Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
