Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, stated.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's a fighter's mentality.

"I will genuinely try to cause him pain. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

In spite of these statements, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, took aim at British rival Fury - and rejected a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.

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

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to speak negatively about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

However, the novice continues to be one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving massive earnings.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would derail the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Paul said.

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really going ahead.
