Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has unleashed his inner beast ahead of his rematch with Dillian Whyte, News About Nigeria reports.
The two-time world champion claims he is ready to face Dillian Whyte in the much anticipated fight that will go live at the London O2 arena.
After suffering back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, doubts were cast on Joshua’s ability to reclaim his former glory.
However, the former world champion seems to have found a new sense of confidence and determination under the tutelage of his new trainer, Derrick James.
In a recent hype video released by Premier Boxing Champions, Joshua credited James as the game changer who has brought out the beast in him.
He emphasized that the training goes beyond just physical conditioning; it’s about honing the fundamentals and unleashing the power within.
Joshua’s newfound belief in himself and his abilities has been evident in his bold statements recently, as he vowed to break his opponent’s soul, ribs, and face in their upcoming bout.
“Yeah, you’re looking at another world champion. This is twelve-round boxing. You systematically break down an opponent where they can’t handle your output.
“Their heart rate is spiraling out of control. You break their soul; you break their ribs; you break their face. Sooner or later, they’ll give up, where they’ll get knocked out,” Joshua said in an interview with Antoine Speaks.
His confidence seems to have stirred excitement among his supporters, who eagerly await the rematch scheduled for August 12.
If Joshua can back up his words with a decisive victory against Whyte, there are those who believe he would be in the perfect frame of mind to take on Deontay Wilder when they meet later this year or next year January in Saudi Arabia.
