The British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua once dominated his division with his sheer power. In his recent interview with Oxford Union, he admitted that he never entered the ring with the game plan in his earlier fights. 

The Oxford Union invited Joshua as a guest speaker for their seminar. The moderator of the seminar asked Joshua about the importance of the game plan during the fight. 

Joshua gave an honest answer to this. He said, “So, a game plan… I am honest with you, this is the first time in my career I would say, we are specifically workout to a game plan. So it will all… make sense after July 23rd.”

AJ sincerely accepted his drawback during his previous fights, which also cost him a loss in his fights. Moreover, he indicated that he will use a game plan while facing Oleksandr Usyk in his rematch on July 23rd.

While speaking more about the game plan, he said, “I… based a lot on my success on raw ability with the right coaches, experienced coaches, but they probably knew I had ability, so it’s just about nurturing ability.”

Joshua often used his power-hitting abilities to dominate his opponents. But from now, he is firm on planning a game plan when he faces his opponent.
