Joshua’s Bold Ambition
Fresh off his visit with President Bola Tinubu in Lagos, Joshua is buzzing with confidence and hunger for success. He made it crystal clear: 2025 is the year he’s coming for Fury. He said, “We’ll see, let’s get in the ring. Only God knows, but for me, we’ll see in the future.” This isn’t just talk; AJ is putting in the work to make this dream a reality. He believes that the opportunity to become a three-time champ is within reach, and he is ready to seize it.
No Time to Waste
Joshua knows that time waits for no one. He’s not one to rest on his laurels. He’s planning to go into 2025 all guns blazing. He even said, “In 2024, when I look back, I believe I could have done more and I have another chance in 2025 to do more. I’m going to make sure that I take every opportunity that comes my way.” This means more training, more focus, and more commitment. He’s all about maximizing every moment to reach his peak performance.
Learning from Setbacks
It hasn’t been a smooth ride for Joshua, and he’s not afraid to admit it. He openly acknowledged his disappointment with the outcome of his last fight against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on Sept. 23, 2024. Though he believed that he should have won, he sees setbacks as learning curves. “I’m going to go again. Ups and downs, they happen. To some people it is always up. My life is up and down, so I got to get used to the turbulent times and keep riding the wave. I can’t stop now, I have to keep going until I reach my destination.” This shows his resilience and his determination to keep fighting no matter what.
More Than a Boxer
AJ’s recent visit with President Tinubu was not just a formality. It provided him with insight into the inner workings of the country. He shared that he had some big plans for the future, hinting at possible ventures outside of the ring. He also expressed having a positive experience during the visit, “I got to meet His Excellency. They did an amazing job at hosting me and my family today. I get to see how the country is organised and run, and have big plans for the future,” which speaks volumes about his engagement and connection with his roots.
The Road Ahead
The boxing world is buzzing with anticipation for this potential showdown. Will Anthony Joshua achieve his goal of becoming a three-time world champion? Only time will tell. But one thing is clear: AJ is ready to leave it all in the ring, making 2025 an exciting year for boxing fans around the globe!
