Anthony Joshua, Nigerian born British professional boxer, says his target in 2025 is to beat Tyson Fury and become a three-time world heavyweight champion.

The former champion spoke with State House Correspondents after a visit to President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday in Lagos State.

On his chances of beating Fury, Joshua said: “We’ll see.

“Let’s get in the ring.

“Only God knows, but for me, we’ll see in the future.”

The boxer said he was hungry for more success and would work harder to achieve his target.

Joshua added: “Time is of the essence, time is limited.

“So, I just want to put in more work.

“In 2024, when I look back, I believe I could have done more and I have another chance in 2025 to do more.

“I’m going to make sure that I take every opportunity that comes my way.”

Joshua said the chances of becoming a three-time world heavyweight champion were not over yet.

He said he should have won his last match against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on September 23, 2024, but didn’t.

He added: “I’m going to go again.

“Ups and downs, they happen.

“To some people it is always up.

“My life is up and down, so I got to get used to the turbulent times and keep riding the wave.

“I can’t stop now.

“I have to keep going until I reach my destination.”

Joshua said he felt good energy during his visit to President Tinubu, who he presented with an autographed boxing glove.

He said: “I got to meet His Excellency.

“They did an amazing job at hosting me and my family today.

“I get to see how the country is organised and run, and have big plans for the future.”
