I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Boxer's Mentality

"I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said.

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

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

Civil Interaction

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

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

"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

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

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Still, the novice remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, consistently making massive paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently being planned for 2026.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Size Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
