Joshua: "It's hard to realize that the next fight will not be a championship"

Andrew Karlov Dec. 27, 2022, 6:43 a.m.

Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) in an interview with 258 Management admitted that the defeat in the rematch with Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) was and remains a big emotional blow for him.

“This year I lost the fight that knocked me out of the race for the world title,” said AJ. - If you fight for the belt all the time, over and over again, you are still in the race. When I lost, I fell out of this struggle, and this realization became a new start for me. I got used to it, I fought for belts for seven years, and then suddenly it was all over. It's hard to deal with it."

Anthony Joshua will return to the ring in March or April. The name of the opponent will be announced when the former WBO, WBA and IBF champion decide on his new coaching staff.
