When asked whether he did not ‘truly believe’ that he could beat Usyk last year, Joshua insisted: “I wouldn’t be there if I didn’t truly believe, I just have to continue believing that I can do it – keep my energy and my spirits high; believe, believe, believe.
“It’s that belief where people think you’re a bit crazy, like: ‘Na, he ain’t gonna do it. Na, trust me, he ain’t gonna do it. I don’t believe he can do it.’ But that’s their belief.”
Joshua, 32, previously lost and regained the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO titles in fights with Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019.
In June of that year, Ruiz Jr stopped Joshua in New York City’s Madison Square Garden, before the Briton outpointed the Mexican-American in their rematch six months later.
The pair’s second clash took place in Saudi Arabia, where Joshua will face Usyk this month.
