LONDON: Britain's Anthony Joshua said he was hungry and desperate to take back his world heavyweight titles from Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk when they fight their rematch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Aug 20.
Usyk beat Joshua in front of a sell-out crowd at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September to take the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts. The rematch will be broadcast on sports streaming service DAZN. Asked by promoter Eddie Hearn how badly he wanted to win the fight, and whether he was desperate, Joshua replied:"Someone said to me today 'you've got a chance of becoming a three-times heavyweight champion of the world'.
"Less talk, more action. Let me just get in there and do my job. I'm not a comedian, I'm not someone who writes speeches. I'm definitely hungry, definitely desperate but at the end of the day how I perform will speak volumes to the masses."The 32-year-old Briton, who now has a new trainer in American former super-featherweight world champion Robert Garcia, has described the previous defeat as a 'blip'.
