I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Paul - Anthony Joshua

Boxer's Attitude

"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove my superiority," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.

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

Civil Interaction

Despite these statements, a relaxed Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - typically recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua's rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after Ngannou turned down a fight offer.

Targeting Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, in the meantime, criticized British rival Fury - and rejected a large bet 'The Gypsy King' states he will put on a victory for Paul.

"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's present here," Joshua said.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Fighter

In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to talk badly about his opponent's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he remarked.

Jake Paul's History

Jake Paul - who first rose to fame on the Disney Channel - has mainly fought mixed martial artists or faded names since entering professional boxing.

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Attraction

However, the novice continues to be one of the sport's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial paydays.

Prediction and Confidence

The 28-year-old anticipated a knockout win in round four or five and asserted he would stop the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is reportedly in the works for 2026.

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

Size Difference

As both boxers engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how remarkable it is that the match is really going ahead.
