Boxer's Mentality

"I will break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of those words, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning huge earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
