Anthony Joshua details his early career

Anthony explained that he would often shut the light out on his opposition early in the fight. While other fighters probably rested after a win, Joshua trained for the rest of the time.

For example, if Joshua finished his opponent in round one of four, he trained for three rounds after the fight. This helped him build up endurance for the time when he wouldn’t be able to finish his opponents swiftly.

“When I used to fight, right when I used to box earlier on in my career. Back in the day, you know what I mean. After I used to fight yeah, I was scheduled for a 10-rounder and obviously, I go in there double them in what one, two rounds, and that.

“So there’ll be 8 rounds left I’ll go back to the changing room and I’ll finish training. I knew the day when it comes to do 12 rounds, even though I’m blitzing men out of there before the 12 rounds, I knew I had to train my body to go the distance.”

He also drew parallels to the success he found in his career towards his surging protégé.

“What I’m tryna say is the work don’t stop. Buatsi will go back to the change room now, shake off, stretch, recover and uh go again. Love that.”

Joshua has endeared himself to fight fans based on the sincerity that the combat sports community feels from him. Moreover, his skill set translates to pure brilliance inside the ring along with his affable nature.
