Boxer's Attitude

"I'm going to damage his features and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.

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

"I will genuinely try to injure him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

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

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he said.

Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving substantial paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Size Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference evident, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
