Everybody Wants To Fight Joshua: They Think He’s an Easy Opponent, But He’s Still a Dangerous Fighter
In the world of heavyweight boxing, few names command the level of attention, speculation, and ambition that Anthony Joshua does. Once celebrated as the face of British boxing and a two-time unified heavyweight champion, Joshua’s career has been a rollercoaster ride marked by dramatic highs and crushing lows. But despite his setbacks, one thing has become crystal clear: Joshua remains one of the most in-demand fighters on the planet.
The irony, however, lies in why so many fighters are eager to face him. To some, Joshua appears vulnerable — a former champion who has suffered notable defeats, including shocking losses to Andy Ruiz Jr. and back-to-back decisions to Oleksandr Usyk. For rising contenders and even seasoned veterans, Joshua represents both opportunity and risk: the chance to catapult their own careers by beating a global superstar.

Boxing is as much about perception as it is about performance. Joshua’s losses have painted a picture that he is no longer the indomitable force he once was. Critics point to moments of hesitation in his fights, questioning his mental toughness and ability to adapt under pressure. Opponents believe that if Andy Ruiz could dismantle him, or if Usyk could outbox him twice, then Joshua might be “easier prey” than the other titans of the division, such as Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder.
Promoters and fighters alike see the financial and reputational goldmine that comes with fighting Joshua. A win over him doesn’t just put another notch on a record; it makes headlines worldwide and places the victor in the heart of the heavyweight conversation.
The Dangerous Truth About Joshua
Yet, those who underestimate him do so at their own peril. Joshua is far from finished. With a towering frame, explosive knockout power, and a wealth of championship experience, he remains one of the most dangerous fighters in the division. Even in his defeats, he has shown resilience, discipline, and the ability to learn from mistakes.

It’s easy to forget that Joshua boasts a resume filled with dominant victories over the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Dillian Whyte, Joseph Parker, and Alexander Povetkin. His ability to deliver devastating knockouts with a single punch means that even when he appears vulnerable, he can end a fight in an instant.
The Paradox of Fighting Joshua
That’s what makes the pursuit of Joshua such a paradox. He is both a target and a threat. Fighters see an opportunity to beat him, but they also know one mistake against him can end their night brutally. Facing Joshua is the ultimate gamble — a fight that could make or break a career.
Moreover, Joshua has made it clear in recent interviews and training footage that he is focused on rebuilding and reinventing himself. With renewed dedication and changes in his training team, Joshua is determined to prove he’s not just a stepping stone for others but still a contender for the heavyweight throne.
As challengers line up, dreaming of the payday and the glory that comes with fighting Anthony Joshua, they should remember that appearances can be deceiving. Joshua may have scars from his battles, but those scars carry lessons. He is not the “easy opponent” many think he is — he is still a dangerous, unpredictable, and explosive fighter capable of reminding the boxing world why he was once its king.
