Boxer's Attitude

"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

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

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of boxing's biggest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
