Fighters' Mindsets: Respect and Knockout Promises
The build-up has featured contrasting rhetoric from the two protagonists. Jake Paul, the significant underdog, has spoken of his belief in a life-changing victory. "One of us is going to sleep – that’s what we’re going to do here," Paul stated. "This is the hardest opponent, hardest challenge, and the most crazy thing I've ever done in my career. But at the same time, I'm ready for this moment."
Anthony Joshua, returning to the ring for the first time in 15 months following a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, has been dismissive of the challenge. He views the fight as a warm-up for a planned 2026 campaign but has vowed not to show any mercy. "I’ve got to give him respect for taking this fight because I’m f****** ready," Joshua said. "I'm not planning on carrying Jake for one second more than I have to."
Beyond the headline act, the undercard boasts serious quality. The meeting of UFC legends Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley adds major crossover appeal, while the card features three world title fights, offering genuine sporting stakes to balance the spectacle of the main event. Whether it ends in a farce or a memorable night, the event is set to capture global attention.
