DAZN<\/a>.<\/p>\n“Ok, first of all, I want to thank god. Next, I want to say, man the first time was nice, I had to do it twice.”<\/p>\n
When asked about his gameplan for tonight’s rematch Anthony Joshua had the following to say.<\/p>\n
“A man like me doesn’t make no excuses. My boy said I can win this, if I am ready to D-I-E. And look, this is about boxing. I’m used to knocking guys out. You know what I am saying? But the last time I realized, after I had hurt the man, I got caught coming in. I gave the man his credit,” Anthony Joshua said pointing at Andy Ruiz Jr. “There was no excuses right? But I said to myself, I’m going to correct myself and come again. I respect Andy and his family and his trainers so much. I just wanted to put on a great boxing master class and also show the sweet science of this lovely sport. It is about hitting and not getting hit.”<\/p>\n
Joshua continued:<\/p>\n
“There was never a change in mentality, you know the saying ‘stay hungry, stay humble’, I’m hungry, I’m humble in defeat and I am going to remain humble in victory.”<\/p>\n
