Anthony Joshua Having ‘Warrior Mindset’ Against Daniel Dubois

Anthony Joshua says he’s having a warrior mindset and is not here to be friends with anyone ahead of his bout against Daniel Dubois.

Joshua is taking on Dubois on Sept. 21 in England in an intriguing matchup. Heading into the bout, Joshua is eager to fight for the belt again.

“I always say I would always compare and look back when it’s all said and done. At the minute I’m just very chilled. Everything’s a blessing so I just get on with it. It’s an opportunity to fight” Joshua told Queensberry (via BoxingScene). “It’s going to be tough, it’s nerve-wracking but in terms of world titles I’m just like, ‘Here today gone tomorrow. Onto the next’ and then when it’s all said and done I’ll like, ‘Oh I remember when I won that and that was amazing and that was amazing,’ but as for now, conqueror’s mindset; win onto the next.”

Heading into the bout, Anthony Joshua says he isn’t here to be friends with anyone. Joshua believes if he comes in with the warriors mindset it will lead to him having a lot of success.

“Always been that way. This is what I feel people don’t really get to understand what it’s like to do our job,” he said. “It’s a very unique job. The glitz and the glamor of it is very unique but when you strip it down to the core of it, let’s say you’re going to get two men to stand up in the ring in front of people and we want you to fight for 47 minutes. A lot of people couldn’t even fight for two minutes. Start the clock and try and fight – try and throw punches – for two minutes.We’re going to do it for 47 minutes so, yeah, people couldn’t really grasp where that takes us as people but I’m straight warrior mindset the whole time. I’m not here to be friends with anyone.”

Joshua is coming off a KO win over Francis Ngannou.
