Boxer's Mindset

"I plan to break his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I will seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's greatest financial successes, frequently receiving huge paydays.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.

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

Physical Disparity

As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
