I will dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Fighter's Mindset

"I'm going to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, stated.

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

"I intend to really want to cause him pain. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

In spite of these statements, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, at the same time, criticized British opponent Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he said.

Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought MMA fighters or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Still, the novice remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It's going to be my match with Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul stated.

Physical Difference

As both boxers participated in the usual confrontation, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly proceeding.
