Anthony Joshua Explains Why Cristiano Ronaldo Is His Source Of Inspiration

World Heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua

in an interview, explained why Real Madrid star,

Cristiano Ronaldo is his source of

inspiration ahead of his forthcoming bout

against Kubray Pulev.

Undefeated Joshua moved to 19-0 following his

sensational win over Wladimir Klitschko in front

of 90,000 at Wembley earlier this year and has

revealed that he strives to replicate the former

Manchester United man.

He said;

“He’s the Don,” Joshua tells Copa 90 in

the video above.

“It’s just little things. He would train by

himself afterwards to work on what he

wanted to work on.

“I was speaking to [Rio] Ferdinand who

said he was the only one in the team

back then who had masseuses,

nutritionists, psychologists, so he had

that desire.”

Joshua last week confirmed that he will face

Pulev on October 28 at Cardiff’s Principality

Stadium in his first fight since his stunning

victory over Klitschko.

“I’ve been eager to get back in the ring

since Wembley and now we’re confirmed

and ready.

“I’ll be locked away, focusing on fight No

20 for the next eight weeks. I’m excited

to experience the atmosphere in a sold-

out Principality Stadium and aim to give

the fans a spectacular night.”
