Anthony Joshua boxing news
Former World Champion Wladimir Klitschko is facing IBF champion Anthony Joshua on April 29 at Wembley Stadium, and Wladimir is determined as never before.
“I am obsessed with winning this fight”, Wladimir Klitschko said at today’s media event in Austria in front of about 50 journalists. “It’s important for me to prove to myself that I am able to defeat every man facing me in the ring. I am ready to walk a long and hard walk to show myself that I can master myself and can be proud of myself.”
By Scott Gilfoid: Wladimir Klitschko notes that his opponent Anthony Joshua has a lot of big muscles from his hard training in the gym, but he wants him to know that boxing is the “sweet science” and it’s just about having a lot of muscles. Klitschko, 41, thinks Jacobs has put on all these huge muscles to try and feel confident. But he wants him to know that the sport is science rather than just packing on a ton of muscles.
By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury can forget about ever getting a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko because it’s never going to happen, according to the big Ukrainian’s manager Bernd Boente. He says Wladimir (64-4, 53 KOs) lost 1 year of his career trying to get a rematch with Fury, and they don’t want to put any more time into facing him again.
By Scott Gilfoid: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) says he’s fighting on another level as IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) right now in his career, and he believes he has the more experience of the two. Wilder, 31, is a little older, faster, taller and more powerful than the 27-year-old Joshua.
By Scott Gilfoid: Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) has been lifting a lot of weights in getting ready for his fight this month against IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) on April 29 at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Wladimir usually takes it easy on the weights, but he appears to be really bulking up for this fight knowing that he’s got to deal with the 250 pound Joshua.
By Scott Gilfoid: Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) understands the risk that he’s taking in facing IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) on April 29 next month, but he still believes he’s got the talent to win the fight. Wladimir says he know what will happen if he doesn’t take the fight with the 27-year-old Joshua, and that’s why he’s chosen to take the fight. He also believes he can win. Just what Wladimir has seen of the heavily muscular Joshua that makes him think he can beat him is what I would like to know.
By Scott Gilfoid: It’s understood by fans that 41-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) is just a shell of his former self going into his April 29 showdown against IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Carl Froch, now a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that we’re going to be seeing the very best of Klitschko instead of the one that couldn’t throw punches in his last 2 fights against Tyson Fury and Bryant Jennings.
By Allan Fox: former world champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) has 5 weeks to go before the biggest fight of his career against IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) on April 29 at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Wladimir just turned 41 last Saturday, and he feels that age is just a number and that it doesn’t mean anything. Wladimir may be right, but you cannot ignore the combination of age and inactivity that he’s going to be dealing with when he gets inside the ring with the 27-year-old Joshua.
By Scott Gilfoid: Four days after pulling off a big upset victory over a badly injured David Haye, Tony Bellew isn’t sure whether he’ll resume his boxing career. His trainer Dave Coldwell wants him to hang up his gloves, but he’s not certain whether he’ll do so or not. The 34-year-old Bellew says it will take a very big fight to get him out of bed to resume his career. In that respect, Bellew sounds a lot like former super middleweight champion Carl Froch before he hung up his gloves.
By Jeff Aranow: Wladimir Klitschko badly wants to beat IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua next month to become a three-time world champion. According to Wladimir’s trainer Jonathon Banks, he’s obsessed with beating Joshua to become a world champion again. Banks sees the 41-year-old Klitschko as this era’s version of George Foreman.
