Boxer's Mindset

"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. 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'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
