Joshua can be seen saying, “Some people may not understand it and I realize in this life is that, 99 per cent of the population are civilized people. The job I’ve chosen is for the uncivilized. This is a sport of combat and war. We’re not civilized people, we’re warriors, and I love it. No matter what the tactics are, no matter how much you study, no matter how much you think you can beat me, I’m just there to win. I’m there to do a job, and that’s the fighter’s mentality.” (via SkySports)
