I want all the belts in boxing – Joshua

Nigerian- American boxer, Anthony Joshua has declared that he has only “scratched the surface” of what he can achieve in boxing, adding that he wants all the belts.

The 26-year-old who is due to make the first defence of his IBF heavyweight crown on June 25 against Dominic Breazeale, saw off Charles Martins in two rounds to win the title in April and he now wants to return to The O2 as champion.

Joshua said his bigger ambition, is to unify the division.

“I’m pretty satisfied with how far I’ve come – but I’m nowhere near where I want to be,” Joshua said in The Times.

“Everything that’s happened since turning pro has been designed to end with me as the unified heavyweight champion of the world.

“I don’t feel that I’ve even scratched the surface of what I can achieve and that’s why when I beat Charles Martin I didn’t celebrate wildly because I’ve only had one world title fight, one world title win and one world title belt.

“I want all the belts and I know that there is a lot of work to be done to get there, but I’ve got a great team behind me and I think I’ll get there.”
