"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

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

"I intend to really want to injure him. That's my intention."

Respectful Interaction

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's present here," the boxer commented.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

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

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

Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Fury in 2023.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly being planned for 2026.

"It will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul declared.

Size Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is really proceeding.
