Former heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, has warned Anthony Joshua ahead of his heavyweight world title rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr.
Tyson, who also had his first professional defeat shockingly, insists Joshua’s mind has to be right before facing Ruiz.
According to him, Joshua has to stay away from himself and dedicate his life to ”doing this”.
Ruiz Jr defeated Joshua to become the new world champion but they will be having a rematch before the end of the year.
Cautioning him, Tyson said:
“He ain’t gonna win it back if his mind’s f**ked up.”
“He made a mistake, got hurt, and s*** happens,” Tyson said on his podcast.
“He can win it back though, but his mind has to be right. He ain’t gonna win it back if his mind’s f**ked up. His mind’s gotta be right, he’s gotta dedicate his life to doing this.
“He’s gotta stay away from himself. When we go training, we go away in the mountains, we’re staying away from yourself and our thoughts.
“In the mountains away from everybody, just the animals and the woods and stuff – you’re facing your demons alone.
“His spirits appear well to you, but in his mind… what’s going on in his mind? F**k. This stage in life is really what makes them.”
