I'll stamp all over 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Joshua

Fighter's Mindset

"I'm going to damage his features and hurt his body. My goal is to show my superiority," Joshua, 35, said.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's what I want to do."

Civil Exchange

Despite these statements, a calm Joshua and social media star Paul - typically famous for his dramatics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

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

Targeting Tyson Fury

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

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

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or faded names since turning professional.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Success

Nevertheless, the relative newcomer is still one of boxing's largest money-making draws, frequently receiving substantial paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old forecast a stoppage in round four or five and asserted he would prevent the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Size Difference

As both boxers met for the usual confrontation, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it drove home just how surprising this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is really proceeding.
