I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Boxer's Attitude

"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

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

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

Respectful Interaction

Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

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

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.

Size Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the customary confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
