Nigerian-born British heavyweight boxer, Anthony Joshua is convinced he will win his rematch with Dillian Whyte on August 12.

When questioned about their previous fight in 2015, which Joshua won by seventh-round knockout, the two-time world heavyweight champion recalled Whyte’s strong left hook.

AJ admitted that he missed the hook because he was too concentrated on assaulting Whyte to notice the counter. The thundering left hook stunned him to his core, leaving him with a memory that continues to motivate him to this day.

At the same time, Joshua understands the significance of the upcoming bout for his career, having lost two straight fights against Oleksandr Usyk before returning with a win over Jermaine Franklin in April.

Joshua’s supporters are anticipating this vital fight with bated breath, hoping that a winning performance will rekindle his old tenacity. Also, there is a strong notion that Joshua’s victory may pave the way for a blockbuster clash with Deontay Wilder.

The boxing world is anticipating Joshua and Whyte’s epic rematch, aptly billed ‘History of Violence,’ as two titans collide once more at the O2 Arena in what promises to be a thrilling clash.

Ahead of the clash, Anthony Joshua told DAZN that victory is certain for him. “It’s a huge night for my career. I’m gonna be victorious, 100 percent. That’s my goal, that’s my plan. And yeah, that’s my motivation. So yeah, I’m looking forward to it. Respect to the team. May the best man win,” Joshua said.
