I will stamp all over 'serious boxer' Paul - Joshua

Fighter's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, declared.

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

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

Civil Exchange

In spite of such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

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

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

Nevertheless, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Difference

As both boxers met for the usual stare-down, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
