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

Fighter's Mentality

"I'm going to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

"I intend to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, criticized British rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

Despite declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.

Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

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

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the usual stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly proceeding.
