‘I’m Solid As A Rock’, Joshua Declares Ahead Of Usyk Bout

Nigerian-British heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has declared he’s solid as a rock as he lost some weight in anticipation of Oleksandr Usyk’s challenge on Saturday

Joshua said goodbye to the hulking muscles and dropped almost a stone for their rematch. The decision proved to be a winning formula as AJ flowed around the ring at ease and boxed the ears of the rotund and confused Ruiz Jr.

Speaking about his current physique, Joshua said, ‘I’m going to come in light. Run around the ring, try not to get hit.

‘I’ll be on my bike all night. I don’t want to get out of 140 heartbeats per minute, so I’m really skinny.’

He continued: ‘Listen, I’m as solid as a rock. I’m strong, I’m good at weight. I don’t really focus on my weight. It’s just training. I just put in the work.

‘These are different opponents and I’ve learnt about training for specific opponents. These guys go longer rounds.

‘When you’re knocking out guys in three or four rounds, it’s different. I studied boxing and what works for me and weight is not a priority.’
