Heavyweight fighter Anthony Joshua spoke with TMZ Sports recently about his upcoming fight with Andy Ruiz.
Ruiz who defeated previously undefeated fighter Joshua during their last bout, gave him his only loss as a pro.
Many thought Anthony Joshua seemed to overlook Andy Ruiz, and by doing so ultimately suffered the defeat in KO style.
Joshua jokingly told TMZ,
“Barack Obama, The Rock, Will Smith, Jay-Z, President Obama, Beyonce … some Instagram models … I’m getting to the fantasy part of my brain now!”
Nevertheless, Joshua knows he needs to take a different approach to this fight with Ruiz stating,
“I took my first L as a professional and started realizing yo, there’s people out there who are REALLY rooting for me. Really emotionally who really want me to win.”
“And, now mentally, I know I don’t just fight for myself. I fight for the nation, I fight for the continents, I fight for the people who love boxing. So, it’s just more than that.”
