Boxer's Mentality

"I plan to damage his features and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

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

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Interaction

Despite those words, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather attacked former Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has mainly boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in 2023.

Commercial Success

Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's greatest financial successes, consistently making huge earnings.

Prediction and Belief

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

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Physical Disparity

As both boxers engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference evident, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
