I will overwhelm 'credible fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Fighter's Mentality

"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.

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

"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

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

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

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.

Size Disparity

As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
