Anthony Joshua is one boxer who has disappointed fans with his recent downfalls. But the fighter is looking to become a champion once again. His first test would have been against Dillian Whyte. However, “AJ”s efforts to fight seem strange, per his recent interview.

Former champion, Anthony Joshua has fallen into the limelight in the past few years after his humiliating defeat against Andy Ruiz. But the British boxers look to climb back up the hill with solid, respectable victories over other heavyweights. His first test would have been to settle the beef with long-time rival Dillian Whyte in a boxing rematch.

Different fighters have a variety of preparation methods when they near the date of the event. Anthony Joshua has a rather strange way of tuning the psychology of his mind ahead of his fight with Dillian Whyte. In a recent interview, AJ explains how and why Dillian Whyte became his phone’s lock screen wallpaper. According to the boxer, this helps focus more on the fight at all times.

The amounts of effort shown by AJ seem to have gone in vain due to recent news of doping by Whyte. However, AJ can still redeem himself against another respected boxer named Robert Helenius.

A last-minute cancelation by Dillian Whyte has thrown Anthony Joshua, the promoters, and the organizers into deep waters. The team has found a replacement fighter to salvage something from the proposed event and give the fans an alternative fight. Robert Helenius is the supposed fighter to fight against AJ instead of Dillian Whyte. He has fought other elite boxers like Deontay Wilder in the past. Therefore, his experience in the boxing ring is not in question.

Many sports news agencies, including SkySports and ESPN, broke the news. The change in dynamics for Joshua might be another hurdle to overcome during preparation.

On the other hand, the fans are not too happy regarding the change in opponents. Many demands to refund their ticket money have flooded the inboxes of the organizers, who now have a challenging task in promoting the fight.
