Boxer's Attitude

"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

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

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul met for the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
