Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

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

Civil Exchange

In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

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

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Size Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly happening.
