Boxer's Mentality

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

"I'll stamp all over him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I intend to seriously aim to cause him pain. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Taking Aim at Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua commented.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.

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

Paul's History

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

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, regularly earning massive earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Jake Paul declared.

Size Difference

As the two fighters engaged in the customary stare-down, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is actually proceeding.
