Anthony Joshua focused on getting win against Gary Cornish

joshua100By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated #2 WBC heavyweight contender Anthony Joshua (13-0, 13 KOs) says he doesn’t care how he gets his victory over little known Gary Cornish (21-0, 12 KOs) in their fight on September 12th at the O2 Arena in London, UK. Joshua just wants to get a victory no matter how it comes about.

The 25-year-old Joshua says he’d like to go 12 rounds so that he can get rounds in, but he’s not going to just take it easy on his opponents in order to let the fight go that far. Joshua doesn’t want to take needless punishment, and put himself at risk of getting hit on the temple with a hard enough shot to get hurt.

Anthony Joshua vs. Gary Cornish on September 12th at O2 in London, UK

joshua56777By Scott Gilfoid: With his promoter Eddie Hearn talking up a match against the talented Dillian Whyte later this year in November or December, #2 WBC heavyweight contender Anthony Joshua (13-0, 13 KOs) will be fighting little known 28-year-old Gary Cornish (21-0, 12 KOs) two months from now on September 12th for the vacant Commonwealth heavyweight strap at the O2 Arena in London, UK.

While the Joshua-Whyte match-up is a good fight on paper, the Joshua-Cornish is fight is not, at least not if you like competitive fights. About the best thing that you can say about the Joshua vs. Cornish fight is the fact that Joshua will be fighting a younger and taller fighter for a change instead of the short old guys that Joshua has pretty much been exclusively fighting since he turned pro.

joshua9913By Scott Gilfoid: Boxing fans were hoping to see undefeated heavyweight contender/prospect Anthony Joshua (13-0, 13 KOs) face a good opponent for his next fight to see how well he does against someone with an actual pulse rate, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen for Joshua’s next fight on September 12th.

It looks like Joshua’s next opponent will be Scotland’s Gary Cornish (21-0, 12 KOs) on September 12th at the O2 Arena in London, England. Cornish is about the equivalent of Kevin Johnson, possibly a step below him in terms of talent.

About the best you can hope for is Cornish throwing some punches before going down for the count.
