In a recent event, Anthony Joshua ahead of his fight with Jermaine Franklin made a major Mike Tyson revelation. In detail, the British boxer spoke about Tyson’s mindset and how the same changed his narrative. According to Joshua, who had a meltdown after his 2nd loss to Usyk, “If you apply yourself to something, you can do anything.” However, here is what Mike Tyson did to him.

To borrow the term from Anthony Joshua himself, DAZN is “penciled on” reviving the career of the former unified Heavyweight champion, ‘AJ’. In the process, they are currently busy relentlessly promoting and producing Joshua-centered content. Following his back-to-back losses against Oleksandr Usyk, with the prospect of Joshua vs. Franklin, DAZN is hopeful about reestablishing Joshua as one of the faces of Heavyweight boxing. At one such event, ‘AJ’ referred to ‘Kid Dynamite’ and enraged fans.

According to Joshua, it was Mike Tyson who got him into boxing. In Joshua’s opinion, Tyson was “a robber and a troublesome kid up until the age of 13.” Given Tyson’s life circumstances, Joshua felt Tyson was “penciled on to going to jail or ending up dead.” However, ‘AJ’ believes Tyson changed his mindset. “He managed to become the Heavyweight champion of the world. He ended up changing his narrative due to determination and became the youngest champion ever,” Joshua added by saying. These comments have enraged a number of Tyson fans.
