Boxer's Attitude

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

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

"I'm going to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

Despite these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage 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 myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
