“I’m back on my home turf fighting against a formidable opponent someone I have to defeat,” Joshua says to Land Rover.

He further explains how this fight can pave the way for him to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

“There’s no victory of Pulev, there’s no road to undisputed so Pulev is my main focus and I am glad that I’ve got this challenge.”

The 30-year-old champion reveals he has started the training for the fight and is not interested in any half measures for this fight given that what happened earlier with Andy Ruiz Jr.

“The training has already started and I’m in a better place than I was last year due to the lessons that I had to learn.”
He goes on to say that he’s employing some new method and skills for his upcoming fight with Pulev.

“Pulev will reveal some new skills and definitely a new style of boxing.”

He further reasons his new methodical approach for this fight saying, “Pulev is a lot taller and slimmer and so will require different strategy and tactics.”
