Joshua Says Emotions Could Get to Him in Fight Vs Martin

As of now, Joshua holds the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles. He made his professional debut in 2013. Joshua has a flawless 15 KO’s from 15 fights, while Martin has stopped 21 of his 24 opponents. It’s the ultimate double really.

Joshua, the 2012 Olympic gold medallist, has won all 15 of his professional fights to date by knockout.

Boxing greats such as Sugar Ray Leonard, Oscar de la Hoya and Floyd Patterson have also achieved the feat. Groves is best remembered forhis two losses to Carl Froch which filled a stadium. he also lost a world title bid to Badou Jack last September and he is looking to win his second fight in a row since. “You’re confident, you’re going to the ring to fight, but there’s always that little thing where you’re thinking, God”.

His speed and power of punch, allied to the good looks and laid-back personality that hide a “mean streak” – “It’s a blood sport business, You want to go in and take someone’s head off”, he says with chilling sweetness – have seen him build quickly on his reputation as one of the London Olympic heroes. Hearn was on pins and needles during the fight and admittedly is nervous about Saturday’s fight. “Anthony Joshua has and the Dillian Whyte fight will end up being a blessing”.

I don’t think it is.

“I got more in my arsenal. I’m comfortable everywhere I go, that isn’t anything new”, he said.

His opponents do not believe it either.

Here’s what Martin and Joshua had to say at Thursday’s final press conference. They can come train with me if they want. They’ve not been around long enough to know about defeats.

Fury and Klitschko are expected to fight in a rematch later this year.

World heavyweight title contender Anthony Joshua on Tuesday accused British compatriot Tyson Fury, the WBA and WBO champion, of being jealous of his “beach body ” . If Joshua can get passed this challenge however, who knows where his ceiling is. We’re here to go to war. We’re only at the beginning. When I’d go to spar I couldn’t.

Is he that one in a million? “When you doubt me, that just fuels my fire – burn on!”
