I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua

Fighter's Mentality

"I will break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Interaction

Despite these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead criticized former Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, targeted British opponent Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or past-their-prime fighters since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, frequently receiving massive earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul said.

Size Disparity

As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity on show, it drove home just how improbable this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly happening.
