‘Do I need Tyson Fury on my record? I need it. Fight good fighters and they bring out the best of you…We need it for boxing. Training camp is hard. To get better is very difficult in boxing. To fight Tyson Fury is a big challenge. I’m going to put that pressure on myself to actually get better. But it’s what we all need, I need it. Come on, let’s see how good I am. Let’s see how far I can take myself during this period. It’ll be a good challenge mentally. Not about him, but because I actually want to do well. When I wake up in the morning early and I’m tired, my body’s battered, I still go out and do what I do. It’s great rewards and only someone like Fury can give that to me.’ Anthony JoshuaSource: Linda Ikeji Featured Image Source: Eurosport
