JOSHUA AIMING TO BE THREE-TIME CHAMP IN DUBOIS WEMBLEY BOUT

AJ 'stronger' thanks to shock Ruiz defeat

ANTHONY Joshua insists his shock defeat by Andy Ruiz has forged the mindset that will enable him to become a three-time world heavyweight champion at Wembley on Saturday.

Joshua challenges for Daniel Dubois' IBF belt knowing victory would complete a period of rebuilding after losses to Ruiz in 2019 and then twice to Oleksandr Usyk left his career on the brink.

Now riding a five-fight winning streak, the 34-year-old from Watford views the seismic upset in New York as a seminal moment.

"I became mentally strong when everyone went against me after Ruiz," said Joshua, who was floored four times before being stopped in the seventh round by the fleshy Mexican-American.
