Unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is a staggering superstar of the sport. However, he is no longer an undefeated prodigy. Having faced a major upset against Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2019, he lost his world titles and the clean resume.

However, he rose back to prominence by vanquishing Ruiz Jr. in the re-match, becoming a 2x heavyweight world champion. While he is set to defend his titles against Kubrat Pulev on December 12, Joshua knows the price of losing a fight.

Being one of the top-rated heavyweights in boxing,  Anthony Joshua has faced both- success and failure in his path to greatness. That said, he is aware of the complexities that Kubrat Pulev can bring inside the ring. ‘AJ’ has been frequent in posting clips and pictures of his training camp for Pulev and he appears ready for war. He recently posted an inspirational message on social media and sent his fans into a frenzy.

In the picture, Joshua is laughing. He has faced several tough days in his gym but is continuing to spread glory by boasting of his WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titles. He wrote, “If we don’t laugh through the pain we will cry.”

Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev- The Action-Packed thriller

While Joshua has had a complicated 2019, Pulev has conquered two opponents to become the mandatory title challenger. ‘The Cobra’ unleashed a KO win over Bogdan Dinu and a unanimous win against Rydell Booker.

Having lost only once against Wladimir Klitschko in his professional run, Pulev can bring a lot of complexities inside the squared circle. Meanwhile, he should also be ready for a tough fight from Joshua’s end.
