I'll dominate 'legitimate fighter' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Fighter's Attitude

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

"I plan to overwhelm him. That's how fighters think.

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

Civil Exchange

In spite of these statements, a calm Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - usually famous for his dramatics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather targeted ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and called him "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, criticized British opponent Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he showed up," the boxer said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's boxing ability.

"Jake is a serious fighter," he stated.

Jake Paul's History

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

He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in 2023.

Commercial Attraction

However, the inexperienced fighter continues to be one of the sport's greatest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in rounds four or five and claimed he would prevent the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.

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

Size Disparity

As the two fighters participated in the customary face-off, with their height and weight contrast evident, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the bout is really happening.
