Fighter's Attitude

"I will break his face and damage his physique. My goal is to show my superiority," the British boxer, 35, declared.

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

"I will seriously aim to injure him. That's my intention."

Respectful Interaction

In spite of such comments, a composed Anthony Joshua and social media star Paul - typically known for his dramatics - exchanged pleasantries and remained civil with each other.

Paul instead criticized ex Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, at the same time, took aim at UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a £1m bet 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul victory.

"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he showed up," the boxer stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Legitimate Opponent

In spite of stating he plans to damage his opponent, Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his rival's pugilistic talent.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he remarked.

Physical Difference

As both boxers engaged in the traditional face-off, with their size difference on show, it drove home just how surprising this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
