Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the novice is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.

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

Physical Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the customary face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually proceeding.
