I know people are probably wondering what I do in between fights. I tell them: 'You go to work, I go to the gym.' That's the same routine. .Training is part of my life.
Although defeating Willie Hutchinson does not completely guarantee that Joshua Buasi will get the opportunity to challenge the world boxing champion, Joshua Buasi has made competing for the world boxing title the next step in his life. A goal. He confidently told reporters: "After defeating Willie Hutchinson, my next plan is to go and watch the world boxing unification fight between the two world boxing champions. Let's see who will unify the entire light heavyweight class. ."
