Joshua explains why he changed his style after losing to Ruiz

Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua told why, after the defeat in the first battle against Andy Ruiz he decided to radically rebuild his aggressive style.

“When I look at Floyd Mayweather, there were two stages in his career - “Handsome” and “Money”. He just got smarter, so I was also trying to get smarter as a fighter, that's all.

When Ruiz beat me, I had health problems, but I knew that at some stage I would probably fail. Why? Because I didn't feel like I was learning. I fought, but did not study.

Therefore, after the first fight with Ruiz, I went through a recovery phase. I completely changed my style - I started to move, hit and not miss in response. I tried to develop this further in my career in the fight with Usyk. He is the master of this style,” Joshua was quoted by Boxing Social as saying.
