I will stamp all over 'serious combatant' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

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

"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

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

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

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

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Size Disparity

As the two fighters engaged in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
