Down-the-line.com / Boxing. British boxer Anthony Joshua, who is a former world heavyweight champion, spoke about his rivals. He called Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko the most difficult of them.

“The most difficult opponent, without a doubt, was Wladimir Klitschko. It was the changing of the guard. Young years against the old lion. When I fought him, I thought it was too early. But this bout was the last for Klitschko.

Therefore, if we hadn’t fought then, it would have been too late. Wladimir is an experienced boxer, a very strong opponent,” Joshua Mirror quotes.
