Boxer's Attitude

"I will break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

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

Respectful Interaction

Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer said.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Fury in 2023.

Commercial Attraction

Still, the novice remains one of boxing's biggest financial successes, regularly earning massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually happening.
