I'll overwhelm 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Fighter's Mentality

"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.

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

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

Civil Exchange

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently being planned for two years from now.

"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Size Disparity

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is actually proceeding.
