What he said...

Anthony Joshua: "I'm just so happy I can get back to work and get on with my job. It's the worst time [to fight me]. The more he talks the bigger grave he digs for himself. I could say a lot of things about him, but I respect my opponent. I'm prepared for a 12-rounder but I do believe in my ability and my counter-punching to put a dent in Jermaine."
