I will stamp all over 'legitimate boxer' Paul - Joshua

Fighter's Attitude

"I will damage his features and hurt his body. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, stated.

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

"I'm going to seriously aim to hurt him. That's my intention."

Respectful Exchange

In spite of these statements, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually recognized for his dramatics - were respectful and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead criticized former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and called him "a joke" after the Cameroonian rejected a match opportunity.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

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

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

"I acknowledge that."

Serious Fighter

Despite stating he plans to hurt Jake Paul, Joshua chose not to talk badly about his opponent's fighting skills.

"Jake is a credible opponent," he said.

Jake Paul's Background

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

He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year.

Financial Success

However, the inexperienced fighter remains one of the sport's largest commercial attractions, frequently receiving substantial earnings.

Prediction and Belief

The 28-year-old predicted a stoppage in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the long-awaited Joshua–Fury fight, which is allegedly in the works for 2026.

"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated.

Physical Disparity

As Joshua and Paul participated in the usual face-off, with their physical disparity clearly visible, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is really happening.
