‘I Never Got That Respect’: Anthony Joshua Keeps it ‘100’ With Fans

Anthony Joshua is among the most iconic heavyweights of this generation. His fights sell entire stadiums as fans love to see the British star don the gloves. However, the former two-time unified heavyweight titlist needs more than just love. He believes that he never got the respect that he deserves.

Speaking to savage Dan, Joshua said, “But I feel like I never got that respect most, let’s keep it 100. Let me be real with you.”

The 32-year-old has grown more dangerous than before as he is on a road to redemption. He has his sights fixed on taking back his lost belts on the August 20th contest in Saudi Arabia.

Since Joshua has done it before against Mexican heavyweight Andy Ruiz Jr, hopes of him becoming a unified champion for the third time are still alive. In 2019, Ruiz Jr stopped Joshua from becoming champion. However, this glory did not stay with Ruiz Jr for long, as Joshua equaled the score in a rematch a few months later.

Since then, Joshua was deemed unstoppable. But to much surprise, the former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk emerged as a new champion by registering a big upset victory in September 2021 over Joshua.

However, Joshua believes that his best is yet to come against Usyk, as his corner in the first clash was the main reason for his loss.

What changes did Anthony Joshua make to defeat Usyk?

AJ is gearing up to take another shot at Usyk. But this time he is set to arrive with new energy and a new team. He has left behind his former coach, who was slammed for his shocking loss against Usyk.

To turn the tables on the Ukrainian, Joshua has hired a new trainer, Robert Garcia, the former world champion.

Do you think Joshua will emerge victorious and become a third-time unified champion?
