Now Anthony Joshua is one of the most famous boxers of our time, but ten years ago it wasn't like that and AJ had to save money on his opponents in fights
Details: As one of the Brit's opponents Dorian Darсh recalled, Joshua's representatives paid just five thousand pounds for the fight in February 2014, which he immediately spent.
Quote: ‘Sammy Simms rang me and said: ‘You've been offered a fight with AJ if you want it...’. I said ‘how much?’ and he said ‘five thousand pounds’, so that's all I had - five thousand because it was a long time ago, 2014-2015 or something like that. So I just agreed to the fight, that five thousand went on a nice holiday and the rest is history,’ - quotes Darср The Mirror.
Recall: The bout with Darсh was the fourth professional in the career of Joshua, and Anthony defeated his compatriot by technical knockout in the second round. The Briton's next fight will take place on 21 September against Daniel Dubois.
