When asked what was his reaction to such trash-talking from Pulev, AJ added, “Many years I’ve been watching boxing and I’ve seen so many fighters talk a load of rubbish.

He touched upon an oft held question about face-offs firing him up more than the fights. ‘AJ’ said, “No, I know what he’s like, I studied him. He thinks he is a warrior. But I said don’t let the guys you fought gas you up. You’re in against a real one now... When people come into the ring with me, they’re confident. Then after a few rounds, their soul gets destroyed, and once I see that I can take them out.” Joshua added.
