I will dominate 'serious fighter' Paul - Joshua

Boxer's Mindset

"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.

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

"I intend to really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."

Respectful Interaction

Despite these statements, a relaxed Joshua and social media star Paul - usually known for his theatrics - shared friendly words and maintained decorum with each other.

Paul rather attacked former Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "not serious" after Ngannou rejected a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Joshua, at the same time, took aim at British opponent Fury - and declined a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a Paul win.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer commented.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite declaring he will punish Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

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

Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has mostly boxed mixed martial artists or faded names since becoming pro.

He was defeated by Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

However, the relative newcomer is still one of the sport's greatest commercial attractions, frequently receiving huge financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28-year-old anticipated a stoppage in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

"The next fight will be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.

Size Difference

As Joshua and Paul engaged in the traditional stare-down, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this whole event is - and how astonishing it is that the bout is truly going ahead.
