Fighter's Mentality

"I plan to damage his features and damage his physique. I'm here to prove I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.

"I will dominate him completely. That's the boxer's mindset.

"I'm going to really want to hurt him. That's my intention."

Civil Interaction

Despite such comments, a composed Joshua and internet personality Paul - normally known for his theatrics - exchanged pleasantries and kept it respectful with each other.

Paul rather attacked ex Joshua's opponent the Cameroonian fighter and labeled him "a joke" after Ngannou declined a fight offer.

Taking Aim at Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at UK rival Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' states he will put on a Paul win.

"[Paul] is better than Fury - he's present here," Joshua stated.

"I give him credit for that."

Serious Opponent

Despite saying he intends to punish Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to talk badly about his rival's fighting skills.

"Jake is a legitimate boxer," he said.
