Anthony Joshua says he will be “a seasoned professional” by his 40th fight, and by that time, no boxer “will be giving me problems”.
The WBA and IBF title holder can move one belt away from becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion if he strips Joseph Parker of his WBO belt on March 31.
“By my 40th fight, no one should be giving me problems. By my 40th fight, I should be a seasoned professional,” he said.
Although his attention is focused on his next bout, American boxer, Deontay Wilder, has repeatedly challenged the Briton to a fight.
Wilder retained his WBC title with a win against Ortiz but Joshua is not impressed by his rival’s victory over the 38-year-old Cuban.
“When he won, I just thought he’s supposed to do that,” Joshua said.
Joshua described Parker as a better “all rounder” than Wilder.
“Parker is a better all-rounder,” he said.
“He has a good left hook, right hand, he wings a right to the body, he likes a left hook to the body.
“I haven’t seen Wilder throw that many body shots.
“Wilder relies on the right hand. There has never been one champion in the heavyweight division that relied solely on power and one punch.
“Parker has an all-round game. That is what makes it a dangerous fight.”
