I’m Not Focusing On Criticisms, I Just Want To Harm Oleksandr Usyk – Anthony Joshua

Ex heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua has come out to say that he cannot wait to harm current IBO, IBF, and WBO champion, Oleksandr Usyk.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he has been putting himself through a lot of mental torture amid the criticism, and that is the reason he is focusing on putting a lot of positive vibes out there.

AJ added that records matter nowadays, so he’ll always have to always deliver that.

His words, “I try not to focus on criticism. There are a lot of positive vibes out there as well. Especially inside the four walls of my home and the environment I shape around me. Should I shape that environment around having had a couple of defeats?”

“Records matter now because people forget quickly these days. But I study the win-loss records of the famous endlessly – and boxers who consistently fight the best rarely go undefeated through their career. Annoying as it is, I know I have to cope with losing. I fight the best.”

“Right after, in the changing room, I knew I would fight again. I was telling everyone: Come on. What the f***. We are warriors. We lost a fight but not the war. This is an ongoing battle. It’s not over ’til it’s over. That’s how I remotivated my team. Nothing should dishearten you. I have to keep that mentality. For the rest of my life. Even if I stumble privately or publicly.”

“But it has been a nightmare just sitting on this loss for so many months. The time-frame does change every day. I have dedicated a lot of my life to a very tough sport. I will do this for as long as I can but I think I’m quite smart at business now. I will be 33 shortly and a lot will come down to how long my body can hang on.”
