I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua

Boxer's Attitude

"I will damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I intend to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.

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

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.

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

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
