Joshua is positive that he can win the belts that he held onto until September last year.

Two professional losses have left the Brit saying he "should win".

He stated, "It's a pressure that sharpens me, definitely." It's a motivator.

"It's a tough fight, but one that I believe I can win. My heart is right and my mind is right. I would like to raise my heart rate.

"I want to believe in myself and do things in the ring.
"I know if I do these things, I will be victorious." That's where my head is at."
