ANTHONY JOSHUA revealed that he discovered why he lost against Andy Ruiz Jr. two weeks after their June 2019 fight.
The Mexican-American was Jarrell Miller's late replacement and shocked the entire world when he knocked Joshua out at Madison Square Garden.
After his defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr, Anthony Joshua was left a broken man.
AJ was initially unable to explain what had happened.
The Brit said that he now understands where he went wrong in a new interview with iFL TV.
He said that he didn't make any excuses at the moment, making digs at Deontay wilder and David Haye.
Joshua, 32, stated that he was searching for a replacement. It is likely that at the top level, we will need to spend another 10 weeks training for this fight style, but it doesn't matter what, we can bring him on.
"It was fascinating because I discovered certain pieces of information 2 weeks after the fight about why certain things were going the same way.
"It gave my reason, so what people call excuses... It could have felt like my baby's toe was hurting. Ruiz was carrying machine-gun bullets in the glove.
"I could have used any excuse that I could think of at the moment. I felt rational and I managed it all myself. Every morning, I looked in the mirror at myself.
His comments seem to be direct digs at Wilder, Haye.
Wilder, 36, claimed that Tyson Fury cheated by tampering his gloves during their second bout.
Haye attributed his 2011 loss to Wladimir Kltschko to a fractured toe.
Joshua, despite making fun of Wilder's character, is willing to fight the Bronze Bomber next Year after his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
He said, "If the fans don't see me, I would take these fights alongside Wilder in a heartbeat."
"And I want people know that I would fight any person in their prime, or at any time.
"Give me a mandatory, and I will fight anybody. I love the game and will fight any person.
"I'm willing to take on any challenge provided politics aren’t an issue and that the finances are available with these guys. People know what I stand for.
"I believe Wilder thought Tyson (Fury) was going to be an easier fight than his previous fights, and got caught up in a trilogy web.
"But would you fight Wilder?" Yes.
Joshua recently trained in America with Ronnie Shields and other pond-based trainers.
He insisted, however, that he had not abandoned Rob McCracken as his long-term coach and that he simply wanted to get out from his comfort zone.
