Boxer's Mindset

"I will break his face and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted UK opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul win.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning substantial financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round 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 me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
