I'll overwhelm 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

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

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

Civil Exchange

In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.

"I respect him for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, consistently making substantial paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in round four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers participated in the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
