I'll stamp all over 'serious boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua

Boxer's Mentality

"I will injure his face and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35 years old, said.

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

"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Exchange

In spite of such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally known for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua opponent the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after the Cameroonian declined a bout proposal.

Targeting Fury

Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a million-pound wager 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is superior to Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said.

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Anthony Joshua chose not to comment unfavorably about his rival's boxing ability.

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

Paul's History

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

He was defeated by British fighter Fury in last year.

Financial Success

Still, the novice continues to be one of the sport's biggest money-making draws, regularly earning massive financial rewards.

Forecast and Belief

The 28 year old predicted a KO victory in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would stop the much-anticipated match between Joshua and Fury, which is allegedly in the works for two years from now.

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

Physical Difference

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their size difference evident, it emphasized just how unlikely this whole event is - and how amazing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
