I will stamp all over 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua

Fighter's Mentality

"I plan to damage his features and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul met for the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
