Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

"I will really want to injure him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

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

Targeting Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul victory.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

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

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.

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

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the traditional confrontation, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly happening.
