I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Fighter's Attitude

"I will break his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's how fighters think.

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

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - usually known for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British rival Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' claims he will make on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake Paul is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Jake Paul's Background

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Still, the novice continues to be one of boxing's biggest commercial attractions, regularly earning substantial paydays.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly under discussion for 2026.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters met for the usual face-off, with their height and weight contrast on show, it drove home just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how amazing it is that the match is really proceeding.
