Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Civil Interaction

In spite of such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead criticized former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

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

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Still, the novice is still one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making massive financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.

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

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
