I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in 2023.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making massive earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
