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.
