Comments Thread For: Joshua Would Like To Get Advice From Klitschko, Lewis

ANTHONY JOSHUA will seek the advice of Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko after a stunning pro debut. The London 2012 super-heavyweight gold medallist turned Italian Emanuele Leo’s legs to jelly with his jab, then crushed the Italian with a combination after two minutes and 47 seconds. After his first-round win, the 23-year-old will be back in action in Sheffield on October 26. Joshua now wants to speak to former world heavyweight champion Lewis and reigning world No.1 Klitschko as part of his continued ring education. He said: “They are the main men and they know what it takes to get there after winning an Olympic gold medal in the same division as I did. “Lennox told me it’s all about hard work and he’s right. There’s no point in having talent if you don’t put the hard work in. Click Here To Read More]

BIG difference between this and what Tyson fury had to say about Lennox and Vlad recently! IMO, Joshua could get tips from Fury on making his interviews a little less predictable. In the ring, he looks exciting. Put him behind a mic, and it's ... yawn. Worth remembering that Fury is only a little more than a year older than Joshua. They are both going to around for a long time, and could well be rivals down the line.

He should just be himself and stop all this nonsense of looking for advise everywhere. No disrespectbto Lewis as a boxer but his advise doesnt help much, ask Price.just ask corrie sanders how much lennox lewis' advice helped him prior to fighting wlad. all wlad had to do was beat journeyman corrie sanders & he had lennox next for a world title as the WBO belt wlad held was not recognized as a world title then.

Hes a british based fighter so it will be difficult to work with one of the awesome american trainers. He should go to the best britain has to offer, Adam Booth or the trainer of Carl Froch, i think they have to be good trainers. Rob McCracken is not a bad call. They will have known each other from Amateur days.

I am becoming a Joshua fan. Kid is very intelligent and I liked what I saw so far. He might be a real deal. Sounds a bit strange, but he needs to 'tuck' his chin 'in'. If he can learn to box behind the jab, a la Klitschko/Lewis, he'll be formidable.

I reckon he'll bring Lennox in more and more over the next few years. They chat regularly by all accounts.

If Lennox is busy maybe Anthony could just ask David Price what tips Lennox had given him. Sure he'd be happy to share that info... Yes because spending 3 weeks with Lennox Lewis will turn you into Lennox Lewis version 2

i like this dude has alot of potential and seems hungry. lets see what happens when he gets a lil money if the hunger is still there but so far he is saying the right things. he should come to the states right away imo and get a world class team behind him kinda like kahn did early on

Joshua is a smart guy trying to look candid... (Steward would have been a good choice.)

"Joshua would like get advice on how to make millions having Bromance hugs". No, he should avoid that.
