I'll overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Boxer's Mentality

"I will injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.

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

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

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian rejected a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] outshines Fury - he's present here," Joshua commented.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to damage his opponent, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Paul's History

Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Still, the relative newcomer continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is actually happening.
