anthony joshua: I am a work in progress… |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| “Really, I would say I am only at 50 per cent of my potential right now. I still make silly mistakes, I don’t get enough sleep, I don’t always stretch as well as I should, my diet could be better, and I need to keep improving the boxing team around me so that they can bring out the best in me. At the moment, I would say I live like an ordinary, everyday man… not like a full-time athlete.” |

| Anthony Joshua generally gets a skin fade with an “open two” going with the grain. This is slightly higher than a classic number two. The level at the top means his hair will stand out when he’s on camera or at a distance. |

In our exclusive interview, heavyweight champion of the world and GQ Sportsman Of The Year Anthony Joshua talks about what it’s like to be the champ, being knocked down in sparring, mind games in the ring. |
|
|
|
People say I’m too nice… |
|
“I am nice, yeah, I’m cool. But I’m no push-over. And if someone gets one over on me, they’ve done it when my eyes were closed, and it doesn’t happen twice. My attitude is I’m cool, but no one pushes me around: not the President or the Queen, or the tramp on the street. I treat everyone equally, and if you treat me with respect you get the same back. But treat me with disrespect and we have a problem… just don’t make me angry because you really wouldn’t like me when I’m angry [laughs |
|
|
|
I don’t see myself as just a boxer… |
|
“At the moment, I still think of myself as a man who fights. My mind-set at the moment is that I don’t want the sport to consume me or define me, because when it comes to an end I worry that I won’t be able to come to terms with life without boxing. But I am working towards changing that. I am a boxer and I want to be the world’s greatest fighter, but I am not there yet because of my attitude. The mentality I have at the moment is that I am just an ordinary guy, I feel humble when people want to meet me, take a picture with me, all of that stuff. I don’t take it for granted because deep down it doesn’t make sense to me. I mean, at my last weigh-in two women fainted. How mad is that?” |
|
|
|
Don’t call me a celebrity… |
|
“It’s hard to say I don’t like being famous, but how I feel is that I don’t see myself as that person. It baffles me that people would want a picture with me. Because in my mind I am just Joe Bloggs who happens to box. And a lot of it is down to the media, who have built me up and said very positive things about me, raised my profile, made me popular. But what worries me is, what happens when they start saying negative things about me? Will people be as quick to believe that? I guess they will, because they don’t really know the real me. People are human, people make mistakes, people can make amends for their failures. So I don’t feel special and I don’t feel that I deserve more attention or admiration than anyone else. I’d like people to realise we are all equal.” |
|
|
|
When you get hurt, you have to decide how to respond… |
|
“Physically, my toughest fight was against Dillian [White]. He got inside my head, and I didn’t think he had. But I was rushing things and then he caught me with a punch-perfect shot in the second round, and that rocked me. I didn’t even realise I was that badly hurt until I suddenly saw him start throwing lots of shots. But as soon as it happened, I started processing what was happening. My first thought was: ‘I could go down here. Take a knee. Recover. Get back to work.’ But then I thought, ‘No… I‘m not going down.’ Then it is a question of trying to re-group without taking too much punishment.” |
|
|
|
Don’t believe the hype… |
|
“People have built me up to be untouchable, unbeatable, invincible, and I’m not that. I am a man and I am a winner, but that can change in a second. That’s boxing. But professional athletes, professional fighters, we’re not gods, we’re not superheroes… we are just human and we make mistakes. People are people, and the public shouldn’t follow the hype. They should follow the realness, follow the struggle. Because that means something.” |

To date, Anthony Joshua has fought and won 22 professional bouts. He holds four of the world heavyweight titles and next year could claim the fifth, a feat that has never been done before. But first, something else that's never been done before - part of our 30th-anniversary dissection of masculinity - a man photographed with his son for the cover of this magazine. From why he doesn't want his child to ever enter the ring to what it takes to raise a family right, we find out how boxing taught him not just to fight, but how to be a father |

Anthony Joshua aligns with Meek Mill and Jay-Z's Roc Nation for DAZN’s ‘40 Days’ |
|
|
|
Three-belt heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has struck another impressive superstar alliance for the second version of DAZN’s docu-series “40 Days,” joining recording artist Meek Mill and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation in advance of the fighter’s June 1 U.S. debut. |
|
|
|
They tell the story of what makes a true champion |
|
“They tell the story of what makes a true champion. I love being part of a project that tells of their grit, sacrifices and dedication outside the gym,” Meek Mill said in an official statement distributed by the new streaming service Friday morning. “It’s those things that show true character and should be lauded just as much as the knockouts in the ring.” |
|
|
|
It’s those things that show true character |
|
England’s former Olympic gold medalist Joshua, preparing to fight replacement challenger Andy Ruiz Jr., of Imperial, Calif., at Madison Square Garden on DAZN, knows how to compile knockouts, with 21 of them enhancing his 22-0 record while wearing the World Boxing Assn., World Boxing Organization and International Boxing Federation belts. |
|
|
|
England’s former Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua |
|
Joshua has set up his training camp in Miami. Meek Mill’s interaction with the fighter is expected to be shown in the first of four “40 Days” episodes. |
|
|
|
Following the debut, two-part “40 Days” that was executive produced by LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s “Uninterrupted” before Saturday’s three-belt middleweight unification victory by Mexico’s Canelo Alvarez over Brooklyn’s Daniel Jacobs, Meek Mill will flex his massive social-media appeal to assist the fuller introduction of Joshua to America. |
|
|
|
Executive produced by LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s “Uninterrupted” |
|
Executive Producer Meek Mill, with 16.4 million Instagram followers and more than seven million on Twitter, will create four six-to-10 minute episodes with Roc Nation for Joshua-Ruiz that will debut on Meek Mill’s YouTube channel beginning May 21 in addition to DAZN, with the remaining episodes arriving May 23, May 28 and May 30. |
|
|
|
NBC Sports Network and a collection of regional sports networks will air a special final edition before the bout. |
|
|
|
After debuting last year, DAZN’s awareness level in the U.S. peaked when James announced his involvement with Alvarez’s “40 Days,” DAZN officials said, and Alvarez-Jacobs “amazed” company brass by generating 1.2 million viewers worldwide, with a peak U.S. audience of 600,000 subscribers, according to industry sources. |
|
|
|
DAZN officials are aiming to surpass 1 million U.S. subscribers by the conclusion of its June 8 fight at Madison Square Garden between former long-reigning middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and Canada’s Steve Rolls, which will also be preceded by “40 Days.” |
|
|
|
We empower storytellers |
|
“We empower storytellers – whether from music, film or sports – to detail a boxer’s journey through their own creative lens,” said Jamie Horowitz, DAZN’s executive vice president of content in North America. “That is the ethos that links each ‘40 Days’ story.” |
|
|
|
Meek Mill, raised in Philadelphia, and Jay-Z, who formerly ran a fight promotion company that counted four-division champion Miguel Cotto, former two-division champion Andre Ward and two-time Olympic gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux in its stable, emerged to lead “40 Days” because of their fervent interest in the sport and Joshua’s desire to work alongside them. |
|
|
|
Beyond his music that includes his current album “Championships” |
|
Beyond his music that includes his current album “Championships” that debuted atop the Billboard chart in November and included a top-10 hit in “Going Bad,” with former rival Drake, Meek Mill, 32, has won the support of A-list sports owners and celebrities as he lobbies against the toll of probation and parole that still leaves him subject to incarceration following a gun possession arrest as an 18-year-old. |
|
|
|
The genuine interest in striking a sincere connection with America’s urban audience could prove powerful for Joshua, a proven mainstream draw in the U.K. who ended Wladimir Klitschko’s long title reign with an 11th-round knockout in front of 90,000 fans in 2017 at Wembley Stadium. |
|
|
|
“With Joshua and Ruiz Jr., fans will get exclusive access to the preparation of the best heavyweight in the world looking to make a massive impact in America, and the dangerous Mexican that can shock the world and become a national hero,” Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn said. |

Drake on “black male identity” |
 |
|
“Money can’t buy me love.” |
|
|
| One millennial tells me he admires Drake for expanding the parameters of “black male identity” by taking hip hop in a more vulnerable, introspective direction. |
| |
| As a lower middle-class, mixed-race Jewish Canadian-American who experienced struggle and hardship in much milder doses than the standard hip hop origin myth, Drake was hard to pin down. He turned his ambiguous status into an asset: unlike rap’s born underdogs, he doesn’t lose power the further he travels from his roots and his subject matter is remarkably consistent. |
| |
| Inspired by the deluxe self-pity of Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak, Drake was already moaning about success on his first EP (“All my first dates are interrupted by my fame”) and he’s still doing it: Scorpion includes songs called “Jaded”, “Emotionless” and “I’m Upset”. |
| |
| If fame is a journey, then listening to Drake is like scrolling through pages of underwhelmed TripAdvisor reviews. |
| |
| The man who stared glumly into a gold goblet on the cover of 2011’s Take Care has spent a decade saying what The Beatles communicated in two minutes: “Money can’t buy me love.” |

'I want a full life' |

Anthony Joshua reveals his biggest fear and future ambitions |
|
Boxing champions have long been lauded as models of masculinity and Anthony Joshua is no different - not just for his unbeaten run in the ring, but for what he stands for out of it. We met him with his son, JJ. |
|
|
|
His biggest fear is being taken "before my time," but that acknowledgment of the dangers of his chosen profession has made the British boxer, who has 22 wins to date, also remarkably philosophical of the responsibility he has to his sport. |
|
|
|
"If you get hit, you're vulnerable, you go down," Joshua told CNN Sport's Don Riddell, speaking about the danger both he and his opponents face. |
|
|
|
"I don't want to inflict that much pain onto my opponent that he can't go home to his family and I hope that's the same for me. |
|
|
|
"I hope I can go on, see my career through and go on and do great things in this world." |
|
|
|
'I've seen things' |
|
Helping others has become an integral part of who Joshua has become and is one of the driving influences behind his stellar career. |
|
|
|
Once the bell sounds on his final round as a boxer, the Londoner wants to use his lofty platform to be an ambassador for charities and help those more vulnerable than himself. |
|
|
|
"As doors have been opened for me, I'd like to open doors for others," he revealed. "I feel like I've still got a lot to live and I want to live a full life." |
|
|
|
It's a philanthropic mission perhaps borne from his own troubled teenage years. |
|
|
|
His involvement with drugs and street culture has been well documented but Joshua is not frightened to speak about a previous life so different from his current one. |
|
|
|
"I've seen a lot of things and I've been through a lot of things. I just thank God I've never had a near-death experience in my life," he said. |
|
|
|
"Nothing has been that scary yet because every hurdle that's been presented to me I've had enough strength to overcome it." |
|
|
|
Learning the 'hard way' |
|
There was a time that almost robbed the world of the real Anthony Joshua. Despite being brought up in a good home, Joshua was influenced by the potential money-making opportunities that came with criminal pursuits. |
|
|
|
"I had to learn the hard way and realize that no one is above the law," he said. |
|
|
|
"But I wouldn't say it was a bad thing because I learned certain skills, mindset, business development, investing, making a return and all that type of stuff." |
|
|
|
His challenging journey to the top of his profession perhaps explains why so many people follow the 6-foot 6-inch giant on social media -- he's got over 13 million followers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. |
|
|
|
However, more pertinently, Joshua credits the winning streak for his growing popularity. |
|
|
|
"Everyone loves a winner," he said. "I could be the same Anthony Joshua but, if I was losing, I don't think I'll be selling out arenas." |
|
|
|
'Life sentence to boxing' |
|
Not that his rise to prominence hasn't been without criticism. |
|
|
|
Rivals have often called Joshua out for being fake, accusing him of turning his back on a former life. |
|
|
|
Meanwhile, despite his undeniable talent in the ring, his boxing style has also been picked apart by opponents, despite his unbeaten professional record. |
|
|
|
"I think for someone who's fake, for someone who fights like a robot, I've kind of navigated my way through this maze pretty well," he laughed. |
|
|
|
"If being fake and being a robot is what it takes then I want to be the best fake person and the best robot possible." |
|
|
|
It was at the of age 18 that Joshua took the decision to swap a life of crime and dedicate himself to a "life sentence" of boxing. Joshua and boxing has been reaping the benefits ever since, with his reign sparking a wonderful rivalry with the likes of Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. |
|
|
|
Despite a thrilling fight between Wilder and Briton Tyson Fury, Joshua is still the man to beat, given he holds three of the four major belts in the heavyweight division. |
|
|
|
"Why am I the chosen one? The pedigree, the talent. You can't deny it," Joshua said, explaining what makes him stand out. |
|
|
|
American adventure |
|
Ultimately though, the three seem unlikely to meet anytime soon given they're signed to different broadcasters, frustrating boxing fans across the world and arguably stalling the momentum boxing had garnered during 2018. |
|
|
|
However, a meeting with one of his top rivals is still very much at the forefront of Joshua's mind. In fact, he guarantees it. |
|
|
|
"I think now the reason why the fight will happen is because people will be interested in earning a pound note off of what's on the table," he said, explaining the complex negotiations that go on to make any such fight happen. |
|
|
|
First for Joshua, though, is a fight against American Andy Ruiz Jr. on June 01. |
|
|
|
The IBF, WBA and WBO champion will fly to New York's Madison Square Garden for his first bout on US soil and the Briton is excited to spread his message to a new audience. |
|
|
|
"I say my message is definitely to look after number one, help elevate the people around you once you've elevated yourself and just be real," he said. |

Part of Britsh GQ 30th-anniversary dissection of masculinity - a man photographed with his son for the magazine cover |
|
|
|
To date, Anthony Joshua has fought and won 22 professional bouts. He holds four of the world heavyweight titles and next year could claim the fifth, a feat that has never been done before. But first, something else that's never been done before - part of our 30th-anniversary dissection of masculinity - a man photographed with his son for the cover of this magazine. From why he doesn't want his child to ever enter the ring to what it takes to raise a family right, we find out how boxing taught him not just to fight, but how to be a father |
| |
|
t takes a family to raise a man,’ reflects Anthony Joshua as we wait for his mother to collect his son. |
|
|
|
The heavyweight champion of the world has a small problem. We are in the sprawling garden of a large house in Hadley Wood, a leafy suburb of North London, gathered to photograph Joshua and his young son, Joseph Joshua – known as “JJ”. And while young JJ is happy enough to muck about with his toys, or potter about in the garden, or perch on the lavishly broad shoulders of his 6’6” dad, he is not nearly so happy when it is time for his GQ photo call. |
|
|
|
“Come here, JJ,” commands Joshua – “AJ” to the court that surrounds him – with a serious frown. “Come here! Come here! Come here!” |
|
|
|
“I’m leaving,” pipes JJ. |
|
|
|
And even the heavyweight champion of the world can’t argue with a lad who is just coming up to his third birthday. |

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born in Watford on 15 October 1989, the child of Nigerian parents |
|
|
| Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born in Watford on 15 October 1989, the child of Nigerian parents, Yeta and Robert Joshua, who divorced when Joshua – known as “Femi” in childhood – was 12. He was partly educated at a boarding school in Nigeria but spent most of his childhood on the Meriden Estate in Garston, part of Watford’s sprawl. He grew up surrounded by his extended family – aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins beyond counting and an uncertain number of siblings. |
| |
| “I have about seven brothers and sisters,” he says, smiling. “So there is a big pool of us. A tightknit family. My dad was supportive in his own way, even if it was on the phone from Nigeria. My dad was quite stubborn. He wasn’t going to rush to come to me. And I get that and I will always respect my dad. Some people think their parents should have done more, but the way I was raised, I will always have respect for my father.” |
| |
| Yet despite the large, loving extended family, young Femi grew up really good at sports, but really bad at staying out of trouble. By the time Joshua was in his late teens, the trouble threatened to ruin his life. At 18 he spent two weeks on remand in Reading Prison for “fighting and other crazy stuff” – with a possible sentence of ten years. |
| |
| “My life could have been completely different,” he says ruefully. “I’m 28 and it’s ten years since my first amateur fight. But I could just be getting out of jail right now.” |

Anthony Joshua believes in the nobility of boxing |
 |
|
Anthony Joshua is a warrior and a gentleman |
|
|
| Joshua believes in the nobility of boxing, the healing power of boxing, the essential decency of the only sport that can’t be described as a game. But when I ask him if he would want JJ to box, he doesn’t even have to think about it. |
| |
| “No,” he says. “It’s too hard. It’s a dangerous sport. I want my son to be the best man that he can be, but I don’t want him to be compared to me. You’re not going to be a boxing star without going through heaps of pain. Life is not a highlight reel. A career is not a highlight reel. People see the glamour, the winning. Nobody’s interested in the knocks and bruises, the bad eye, the struggle. My son has the bloodline for it, there’s no doubt about that...” |
| |
| Joshua has become our most iconic sportsman since David Beckham because of the way he carries himself inside and outside the ring. He is a warrior and a gentleman. In the toxic, trash-talking world of boxing, now amplified a million times on social media, Joshua insists on treating his opponents with respect before and after the fight. |
| |
| “When you disrespect another fighter, you disrespect the sport,” he says. “You shouldn’t do that to other athletes. He’s shit. He’s this. He’s that. He’s got no credibility. It reflects badly on boxing. Calling people bums... There’s a way to do it. He’s a good fighter – but I’m better!” |
| |
| And even though future opponents over the next few years are likely to be men who all have PhDs in trash talk – Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury, Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder, Dillian “The Body Snatcher” Whyte – Joshua will never stoop to the trash-talking sewer just to sell a few more tickets on pay-per-view. “It’s always good to be yourself,” he says. “Don’t put on an act. Some of these fighters, they put on an act.” |
| |
| The story of Anthony Joshua is still being written. His career-defining fights – AJ’s “Thrilla In Manila”, his “Rumble In The Jungle” – are waiting in the wings. He holds the IBO, IBF, WBA and WBO titles – everything there is to hold but the WBC belt possessed by Deontay Wilder. Wilder and Tyson Fury fight in LA in December. Like Joshua, they are undefeated. And, as they say in boxing, someone’s “O” has to go. But that is all for another day. Right now the breaking news is that JJ is ready for his photoshoot after having a good nap while being driven around by his grandmother. |

Anthony Joshua stops Alexander Povetkin to retain world heavyweight titles |
|
|
| Anthony Joshua delivered a stunning finish to stop a game Alexander Povetkin and retain his world heavyweight titles at Wembley Stadium. |
| |
| The IBF, WBO and WBA champion, criticised in some quarters for failing to finalise a deal with the division's other high-profile names, responded emphatically with a seventh-round stoppage of the Russian, who had never been beaten inside the distance. |
| |
| After an early chess match in which Joshua suffered a bloodied nose before cutting his rival, the Briton grew in confidence and a savage right hand followed by a left hook began an onslaught which would prove telling. |
| |
| Another right-left combination downed Povetkin, who somehow made the count, only to stagger into a left hook which saw him slump into the ropes, leaving referee Steve Gray with no option but to intervene. |
| |
| Roars poured down to ringside as the rain had all day, with Joshua's corner ecstatic and rightly so. His display showcased poise, intellect and power, sending a message to the heavyweight division that the champion will take some stopping. |

 |
|
Anthony Joshua vs. Alexander Povetkin |
|
|
| It is a few days after Joshua fought Russian Alexander Povetkin in front of 90,000 people at Wembley Stadium, and although he radiates fitness and power like nobody I have ever met in my life, he is a weary man when he sprawls his massive frame across a sofa. |
| |
| “It’s not just the fight. It’s also the training camp,” he says. “You run on adrenaline and eventually your body shuts down. I had really bad flu before the fight – I’ve still got it now – and more than anything my victory was a relief that I got it done. My nose hurts but it’s not broken. And I’m not pissing blood.” |

| Povetkin had been what the boxing world calls “game”. Fighting to redeem himself after years when his career had been tainted by drug bans, the Russian proved a teak-hard challenger, landing a heavy blow flush on Joshua’s nose in the first round and fighting for his life until AJ battered him to the canvas in the seventh. |
| |
| Povetkin felt like a typical Anthony Joshua fight – the faintest hint of vulnerability around Joshua, the edge-of-your-seat drama and then finally the denouement as AJ emphatically cleaned his opponent’s clock. An Anthony Joshua fight is a story in which you are never certain what is going to happen next, but – so far – has always had a happy ending, with Joshua grinning as his corner adorn him in his championship belts and a sold-out British stadium sings his name to the tune of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army”. |
| |
| Joshua is a knockout artist – he has fought 22 professional bouts without defeat and won 21 of them by battering the other man to the edge of consciousness or beyond. Fight fans love that stuff. But Joshua is loved way beyond the world of boxing. Wembley Stadium is already booked for his 23rd fight on 13 April 2019, the opponent yet to be confirmed. But whoever he is fighting, AJ can sell out Wembley Stadium like a rock star. |
