Nigerian-born British heavyweight boxer, Anthony Joshua is determined to reclaim the IBF belt after nearly 3,088 days since he first won it in 2016.
Anthony Joshua, who is a former two-time world heavyweight champion, is set to face Daniel Dubois in an IBF heavyweight title fight at Wembley Stadium in London on September 21.
Despite the significance of the title, Joshua is focused on the bigger picture. He views this fight not just as an opportunity to win a belt, but as a crucial step forward in his journey as a boxer, regardless of the result.
He respects Dubois as a fighter and is prepared for the mental and physical challenges that come with such high-stakes bouts.
Winning this fight could set the stage for future opportunities, potentially leading to a clash with the winner of the upcoming rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
Hence, the Nigerian-born heavyweight boxer sees his fight against Dubois as a significant step in his pursuit to reclaim his status as the top heavyweight boxer in the world.
“I always say I would always compare and look back when it’s all said and done. At the moment, I’m just very chilled. Everything’s a blessing, so I just get on with it. It’s an opportunity to fight,” Anthony Joshua told Queensberry.
“A win is a win, but for me, it’s all about the journey, not the trophy. The belt doesn’t hold any special significance for me right now. This fight is an opportunity to step closer to the ultimate goal. It’s going to be tough, but I’m focused on winning and moving on to the next challenge.”
