In the interview, Anthony Joshua was asked who he thinks would win if he were to fight ‘The Rock’ in a wrestling match and a boxing match. And even though the Hollywood star has experience in professional wrestling and is a well-trained wrestler, that didn’t seem to bother the former unified Heavyweight champion.
Joshua responded to this question and said, “100% Me.” When one of the child interviewers asked Joshua, “In both of them?” the British boxer replied with a statement that is a powerful life lesson for everyone. He said, “Listen, You gotta believe in yourself.” The former champ enjoyed his time with his interviewer. And, when the interview was concluding, he seemed sad about it.
After suffering a defeat at the hands of Keanu Reeves’ John Wick 4 at the box office, as per Fandomwire, it seems like Joshua is cheerful about handing ‘The Rock’ his next two. Even though Joshua believes he can defeat Johnson, the two are good friends and share a respectable bond. Notably, they hilariously mocked Kevin Hart when they last interacted.
