I will dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Boxer's Mentality

"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

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

"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead targeted ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he stated.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually going ahead.
