Fighter's Mindset

"I'm going to injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, stated.

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

"I'm going to genuinely try to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of those words, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his showmanship - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is superior to Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.

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

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mostly boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.

He was defeated by Briton Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter is still one of boxing's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial financial rewards.

Prediction and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would prevent the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As both boxers participated in the traditional face-off, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually going ahead.
