Boxer's Attitude

"I will break 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 the boxer's mindset.

"I intend to seriously aim to injure him. That's my goal."

Civil Exchange

In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather attacked former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge earnings.

Prediction and Belief

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

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
