I will dominate 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Fighter's Mentality

"I plan to break his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm the better fighter," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my goal."

Respectful Exchange

Despite these statements, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent Francis Ngannou and labeled him "ridiculous" after Ngannou turned down a bout proposal.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul outshines Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.

"I acknowledge that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of saying he intends to punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's fighting skills.

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

Jake Paul's Background

Paul - who initially became famous on the Disney Channel - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since becoming pro.

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Commercial Attraction

However, the novice remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, regularly earning massive earnings.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old anticipated a KO victory in rounds four or five and asserted he would derail the long-awaited Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently under discussion for two years from now.

"The next fight will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul declared.

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the customary stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
