I'll dominate 'credible fighter' Paul - Joshua

Boxer's Mindset

"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 how fighters think.

"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."

Respectful Exchange

Despite those words, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.

Financial Success

However, the novice is still one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

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

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is actually going ahead.
