The Brit was speaking at a press conference before the boxing match which will go down on Saturday, August 20th, 2022. According to Joshua, winning the belts he lost to Usky is not his major priority but he wants to put up a good fight when he goes into the ring against the Ukrainian.
I have got goals I want to achieve in the ring on the night and I am going to be disciplined enough and follow them through. That is like competition within myself. The belts mean something but that is like the end of the target so it is not like I am skipping the process. I am focused on the process.
He was also asked about how mentally he was prepared for the fight looking at all he went through the last time both boxers met.
I am looking forward to it. I want to compete so I am looking forward to it. I can not really say much but I am looking forward to competing.
