Anthony Joshua is about to embark on what he calls phase three of his journey and, whatever
Levine Toilolo Jersey his repeated declarations that he is in boxing for fun not money, over the next decade he could bank as much as ?500m, drawing him alongside Floyd Mayweather as the biggest earner in the history of his precarious sport. Wladimir Klitschko admits tactical error but gives full credit to Anthony Joshua Read more After his dramatic late stoppage of Wladimir Klitschko in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley on Saturday night, all things seem possible for the young heavyweight champion, now indisputably the world’s best. Afterwards in the bowels of the national stadium, the 27-year-old was unnervingly cool about his precocious achievement and what awaits him. After getting up in the sixth and battering the long-time dominator of the division into unwilling submission 35 seconds from the end of the 11th, the one-time street boy from Watford, who still lives at home with his mother and prides himself on staying close to his roots, owns the IBF and IBO titles, as well as the WBA’s “super” version. These are bargaining chips he can use to dominate the division and the sport for as long as he remains undefeated. His manager, Eddie Hearn, told the Guardian: “I spoke to him in camp three weeks ago and he said: ‘Yeah, I want 10 more years of this.’ We might run out of opponents. But there are so many different boxes to tick“We’re only

The plan, rather than just to keep going in the UK, is to break new markets around the world which includes, most importantly, China and the Middle East and Africa. They’re markets that we want to move into and dominate over that period. I’m not saying it’s going to be next – but over that period.

The problem is that he’s just done that in his 19th fight and everybody’s going to expect him to be in tough, tough fights. “The fights are tough. He could easily have lost tonight. It wasn’t like he just breezed through it. You’ve got to be doing more over these 10 years. If he boxed [Kubrat] Pulev, which is our mandatory, the British public would be disappointed. So, therefore, that could be a fight we take on the road. “You can’t constantly keep going back to the same market asking people to pay [for a lower-level fight]. The IBF will order a mandatory [the Bulgarian Pulev] at some point, the WBA will have a mandatory [perhaps Joseph Parker] at some point. I would also like to remind them that they have the biggest star in world boxing as the heavyweight champion. “He knows he’s an inspiration. He talks very strongly about taking the title around the world. We’re already making big progress in China. And America – although

It’s just the beginning for us in the States. “He’ll have a nice two or three months off now. I don’t think he’ll box again until between September and December. It’s more likely to be at the Millennium Stadium – if it’s in the UK. We can’t return to the O2 and Manchester Arena. That’s why we might take it to another territory. Sky-high hype of Anthony Joshua triumph puts size above quality Simon Burnton Read more “We’ve probably just completed phase two [of the career strategy]. There are four phases: one, he won the title, two he unified the heavyweight championship of the world. “I can’t tell you his expectations and what he wants to achieve – not just in boxing, but outside of boxing, as a person and as a fighter. So, that was like winning the world heavyweight championship tonight, to beat Wladimir Klitschko to unify the title – in his 19th professional fight. “Phase three is all about the big heavyweight championship fights. It’s very difficult because, you have a fight like tonight – I’d call it a legacy fight or
