Fighter's Mindset

"I will damage his features and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul said.

Physical Difference

As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is really going ahead.
