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

Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Respectful Interaction

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the novice remains one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving huge earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
