I'll dominate 'credible combatant' Paul - Anthony Joshua

"I'm going to damage his features and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, declared.
"I will dominate him completely. That's how fighters think.
"I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my intention."
Civil Exchange
Despite such comments, a relaxed Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually known for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Jake Paul instead targeted former Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and labeled him "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity.

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