Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has been busy preparing for a short time with a number of junior fighters in addition to his intense preparations. Joshua will face fellow British fellow Daniel Dubois on September 21 for the vacant IBF belt, and Joshua is looking to claim the title for the third time.
Joshua is currently training at the famous Finchley Club, where he also came from, and when he sees a group of teenage boys, Joshua seems to remember who he used to be.
According to the released video, Joshua fought with several child fighters, of course, this is not true, one of the child fighters forced Joshua into a corner and threw a swift right hand hook, which hit the target, and Joshua smiled after being injured, and then he walked to the camera and was found to have injured the left side of his eye and shed a drop of blood.
Joshua was happy despite being wounded by a child opponent, and then he turned to him and asked, "Which of you hit me?" Who did this to you? Is that you? ”
Presumably acknowledging the acknowledgment of one of the children, Joshua nodded at the other in encouragement. For this reason, the media reported on the incident: This is a heartwarming moment for Joshua, who has been promoting boxing in the community.
Although Joshua was injured in the fight, it did not affect his battle with Dubois. Since last year, Joshua has teamed up with new coach Ben Davidson, and under Davidson's leadership, Joshua's strength and form have improved significantly, winning strong clashes against Otto Wallin and Francis Nganno.
This week, former WBA super middleweight champion George Groves talked about Joshua vs. Dubois. Grove admits it's an exciting contest and has to admit that Joshua is the favourite.
"I'm excited about this fight, I think it's going to be a great fight, both guys are in good shape," Groves said. Joshua has gained a new lease of life under Davidson, and he had a great last outing, albeit with an MMA fighter (Nganno). ”
While he praised Joshua, Groves stressed that Dubois was also great last time out and that he was improving at a rapid pace. "Dubois was hit with heavy punches a lot of times against Filip Hellgovic, but he weathered the storm and got stronger and stronger," Groves said. ”
At the moment, the bookies are 3-1 favours on Joshua, but Groves believes that Dubois is no longer the rookie he used to be, so the outcome of the game is still very suspenseful.
"If you think Joshua is going to win, that's too unwise, would you make Joshua a more popular fighter?" Of course! I just think Dubois has a chance to win because he's improving. The 26-year-old is now full of confidence, his attacks are ferocious, his jaw is getting harder, and Dubois is already very confident. ”
