"I'll never forget that punch". Joshua recalled his defeat in the World Boxing Championships final

Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua recalled his defeat in the final of the World Boxing Championships in 2011.

Then AJ lost to the representative of Azerbaijan, Magomedrasul Medzhidov.

“I remember a tough fight in 2011, the world championship final against an Azerbaijani fighter. He knocked out everyone on the way to the final, he was strong. I was an inexperienced fighter, making stupid mistakes, and I went for one of his punches. Strength met strength.

Bang! I'll never forget that punch. I lost by one point. It was emotional pain and physical pain,” Joshua said.

Anthony Joshua made his professional ring debut in 2013.

A.J. and Daniel Dubois will fight for the IBF heavyweight title in the fall. The bout is scheduled for September 21.
