"I wanted a fight with Wilder eight years ago and I want it now," said Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) at a press conference after a spectacular knockout victory over Robert Helenius in the seventh round.
“I followed the tactical plan of the coach. I won't judge myself, I'll leave it to my coach, but I definitely showed my best side than in April. Fans sometimes don't realize that boxing is a bit like playing chess. One waits for the other's mistake. Did any of those fans who whistled at me today ever fight? From the first round, I tried to break Helenius. Every opponent is different and every fight is different, but for me the most important thing is to be active and fight often,” added the former two-time world heavyweight champion.
"AJ moved well in the ring and I can praise his defense," added coach Derrick James.
