Fighter's Attitude

"I will break his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.

Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in 2023.

Financial Attraction

Still, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's greatest financial successes, regularly earning huge earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.

Size Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional confrontation, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly happening.
