I'll dominate 'serious fighter' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua

Boxer's Attitude

"I plan to injure his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.

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

Civil Exchange

Despite such comments, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his theatrics - shared friendly words and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, targeted British rival Tyson Fury - and rejected a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' says he will place on a victory for Paul.

"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.

"I respect him for that."

Legitimate Opponent

Despite declaring he will damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to talk badly about his rival's pugilistic talent.

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

Jake Paul's Background

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

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Nevertheless, the novice is still one of boxing's greatest money-making draws, consistently making huge earnings.

Forecast and Confidence

The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and stated he would stop the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is apparently in the works for 2026.

"It will be myself against Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul stated.

Size Difference

As both boxers participated in the customary confrontation, with their size difference clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is actually happening.
