Anthony Joshua isn’t lowering his expectations as he prepares for his July 25 fight against Kristian Prenga. Somewhat than specializing in winning one other world title, the previous unified heavyweight champion says his ultimate goal stays becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion.
“Physical and mental, I’m solid, very solid,” said Joshua to DAZN Boxing. “And if I can improve my spirituality, I’ll definitely get to where I need to get to. And I imagine I can develop into undisputed. I still have gotten the ambition and hunger. Anything below that, is a champion. So one in all the 2, I’m definitely going to get.”
Joshua’s next fight comes against Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in a fight he is anticipated to win. Victory would likely move him right into a long-discussed showdown with Tyson Fury later this yr, one in all the largest fights available in boxing.
Even when Joshua defeats Prenga and Fury, his pursuit of the undisputed championship would still require him to navigate one in all boxing’s deepest heavyweight divisions. WBC champion Agit Kabayel, WBO champion Daniel Dubois, the eventual WBA and IBF champions, and unbeaten contender Moses Itauma could all stand between Joshua and the achievement he says continues to be within sight.
Joshua’s ambition is simple enough to know. The harder part is popping it into reality. He isn’t any longer chasing the identical heavyweight division he once ruled. The titleholders are different, latest contenders have emerged, and younger fighters are starting to take over. Joshua may imagine one other undisputed reign continues to be possible, but he’ll must prove he can beat the perfect heavyweights of this era before that vision becomes anything greater than confidence.
