heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has vowed to remain disciplined and composed when he faces Tyson Fury in their highly anticipated showdown scheduled for December 11 in Cardiff, Wales.
Joshua believes Deontay Wilder’s approach during his previous encounters with Fury offers important lessons, particularly the danger of allowing emotions and the desire for a knockout to dictate a fighter’s decisions.
Speaking to The Ring magazine’s Mike Coppinger, the former two-time world champion explained that Wilder frequently expended too much energy attempting to finish Fury after landing damaging punches, allowing his opponent to recover and regain control of their contests.
Wilder faced Fury three times, recording one draw and two defeats. Joshua believes the American could have achieved better results by exercising greater patience instead of rushing to end the fights whenever he gained an advantage.
The Nigerian-born boxer insisted that he would avoid falling into the same trap, stressing that maintaining a clear head would be essential against an opponent renowned for his ability to withstand pressure and recover from difficult situations.
The December encounter, which will take place at the Principality Stadium, is expected to attract worldwide attention, with Netflix scheduled to broadcast the contest. The vacant World Boxing Association heavyweight title is also expected to be at stake.
Victory would offer Joshua an opportunity to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, joining boxing greats such as Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko, who achieved the feat.
Joshua heads into the contest with 30 victories, four defeats and 27 knockouts, while Fury boasts 36 wins, two losses and one draw, with 25 knockouts.
Both fighters have previously lost their world titles to Oleksandr Usyk, making their upcoming meeting an opportunity to strengthen their standing in the heavyweight division.
