I'll dominate 'legitimate combatant' Paul - Joshua

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

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

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

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his showmanship - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou rejected a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

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

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually happening.
