At one point, the name of Anthony Joshua stood on the top of the heavyweight mountain.
Even after his shocking defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019, Joshua believes he is still the best boxer in the world and will continue to prove that Ruiz Jr’s victory over him was more or less a fluke. However, with Joshua tasting defeat for the second time in his career, this feels different.
Despite Oleksandr Usyk giving up size, reach and weight to Joshua, the undisputed former cruiser champion marched confidently into Joshua’s hometown and proceeded to strip him of his heavyweight title. . With his second career loss now tainted with his record, Joshua is simply adorning his latest defeat with his ambitious nature.
Joshua said in a recent interview with Sky Sports Boxing: “If I don’t fight my best, I might not lose.
During their heavyweight bout, Joshua smiled as he approached the ring. His English fans cheered in the background of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, to their surprise, Joshua managed to beat what many consider to be on the shortlist of the greatest pure boxers in the world today, rather than using physical attributes. his substance.
The end result is one that Joshua is currently trying to recover from. After the unlikely defeat, the former heavyweight player immediately activated the immediate rematch clause. The two are currently locked in intense negotiations with promoter Eddie Hearn revealing that a confrontation between the pair will become a reality in the first half of 2022.
While Joshua has now found his name firmly behind the likes of Usyk, and WBC heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, the British star is anxious to prove any discussion around death His is all greatly exaggerated.
“I belong to the big stage, I belong to the champions, I belong to the names of this current generation. You will see why. ”
