I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua

Fighter's Attitude

"I will damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - typically known for his dramatics - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

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

Taking Aim at Fury

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

"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua refused to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's biggest commercial attractions, consistently making huge paydays.

Forecast and Belief

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

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

Size Difference

As the two fighters participated in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity on show, it highlighted just how improbable this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is really happening.
