"Jake Paul is superior to Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I give him credit for that."

Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old predicted a knockout win in round four or five and claimed he would stop the long-awaited match between Joshua and Fury, which is reportedly being planned for 2026.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul said.
Physical Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it emphasized just how improbable this complete situation is - and how amazing it is that the fight is truly proceeding.
