I'll stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Boxer's Attitude

"I will injure his face and break his body up. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, declared.

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

"I will seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically recognized for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and called him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Paul's Background

Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or declining opponents since turning professional.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Still, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest financial successes, regularly earning massive paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly being planned for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul declared.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the usual stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it highlighted just how surprising this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is really happening.
