The heavyweight boxing champion of the UK, Anthony Joshua, is still sweating on the training mat as he prepares for his fight with Daniel Dubois.
But while the European media are in a lively discussion about money, as this fight alone could bring Anthony Joshua 10 million British pounds (over 286 billion Vietnamese dong) if he wins, the British fighter says: “Money is the language of my love! But I want to use it to help people more than to show off.”
Anthony Joshua is one of the top heavyweight boxers in the world today. He has fought a total of 27 matches in his career and has 22 knockout wins. In addition, he has also won the 2012 London Olympics and been crowned world champion twice… These achievements have brought Anthony Joshua a fortune worth hundreds of millions of British pounds.
“Money is always on my mind. Although I’m working for it, that’s not my biggest goal. The reason I talk about money is because I know how much it can help people. So I can do charity for those in need. Money is the language of my love, but I won’t put all of my life into it,” Anthony Joshua says.
Although a big star, Anthony Joshua is always connected with the community.
Anthony Joshua participates in many training courses and inspires young people with potential, hoping to show them how to achieve success like him.
Anthony Joshua says: “I know the feeling of having nothing and no one caring about you. I have money but I won’t buy 50 Range Rovers and say ‘No one is allowed to sit in my cars’.”
Instead, “I will buy 50 Range Rovers so that people can experience the feeling of sitting in a supercar, and from there be inspired and motivated to work hard and own a car like that.”
Anthony Joshua’s words have touched many people, because behind the strength and determination in the ring is a Joshua with a compassionate heart.
