I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

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

Respectful Exchange

In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather attacked former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He lost to British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

Still, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's biggest money-making draws, consistently making massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would prevent the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly in the works for two years from now.

"It will be my match with Fury in the coming year," Paul said.

Size Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the traditional face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how unlikely this complete situation is - and how remarkable it is that the match is truly going ahead.
