Celebrity Feature Just Joshing? How the entertaining, uplifting, genial tone of Anthony Joshua disguises a darker force which may yet lead him to even greater riches. Anthony Joshua, the person, is charismatic, polite, funny and unquestionably intelligent. So how does such a nice guy go around making a living by punching people in the face? “As a kid I grew up wanting to be powerful and successful,” begins the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight boxing champ, “but I guess that could have played itself out in many different ways. “However this is where I am and this is what I do, and I wouldn’t change it for anything. I’ve got a lot left in me and I’m excited for the future - they say when your time is up it’s not necessarily the power and the physical ability that goes first, it’s your bottle.” AJ’s bottle is well and truly still intact, despite a challenging couple of years in the ring. First, in June 2019, there was his shock defeat to Andy Ruiz Jnr - the champ’s first ever professional defeat. While the Brit exacted revenge to win back his belts in a rematch six months later, events had shown up a first chink in his armoury, and one that a resurgent Tyson Fury has been desperate to capitalise on ever since. “Boxers will go through these episodes and it just so happened it was my turn back when I fought Andy Ruiz,” says the 31-year-old. “At the time it was the worst thing that had ever happened to me in the ring, but now I look back on it as a blessing. I have proved to myself that I have the mental and physical resilience to power back from adversity when people all around you are questioning if you’ve still got it. You never know in the late rounds of a fight when that learned lesson could help me through to victory.” There’s a fair chance those echoes may come about when AJ gets his long-awaited shot at Tyson Fury. It’s the heavyweight boxing bout the world has been desperate to see, although it now seems that Fury will first have to again fight mandatory challenger Deontay Wilder, with Joshua taking on Ukrainian Alexander Usyk. Only when those two old foes are overcome will the fight everyone has been waiting for get the nod. “All I know is I will be ready and happy to show the world that I am the best. I don’t believe anyone can take away from me what I’ve worked so hard to earn, and I look forward to proving it.”
