I will dominate 'legitimate boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Fighter's Mentality

"I plan to injure his face and break his body up. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, said.

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

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

Civil Interaction

In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Jake Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "not serious" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, criticized UK rival Tyson Fury - and refused a large bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Fighter

In spite of stating he plans to punish Paul, Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who originally gained popularity on the television network - has mainly boxed MMA fighters or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of boxing's largest money-making draws, regularly earning huge financial rewards.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in round four or five and claimed he would derail the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is reportedly under discussion for 2026.

"It will be my match with Fury next year," Jake Paul said.

Physical Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their size difference on show, it highlighted just how unlikely this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
