I'll stamp all over 'legitimate combatant' Jake Paul - Joshua

Boxer's Mindset

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Respectful Interaction

Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"The next fight will be my match with Fury next year," Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
