I'll dominate 'credible boxer' Paul - Joshua

Boxer's Mentality

"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, declared.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a Paul win.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.

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

Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning substantial earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
