Famous boxer Anthony Joshua jokingly said that if he chose football to develop his career, fans would not know who Virgil van Dijk is.
Anthony Joshua has just become the first British Boxing boxer with assets of more than 100 million pounds. Many brands also want to invite Joshua to be their image representative.
In martial arts, he is a heavyweight champion, making his opponents respect him every time he fights.
Recently when asked how Joshua would cope if he developed his career as a football player and not a boxer, he said: “Maybe at that time people did not know Van Dijk or Chris Smalling as Who.
Joshua joked that if he chose football to develop his career, fans would not know who Virgil van Dijk is.
Actually I’m not a bad defender. However, I’m not interested in football. My passion is boxing, an individual sport.”
Joshua, Van Dijk and Smalling are famous athletes in England. Van Dijk and Smalling have protective bodies with a height of over 1m9, making many strikers feel bored when facing each other.
Meanwhile, Joshua is equally “big” because he is simply a heavyweight champion, nearly 2m tall and heavier than 108kg.
Netizens enjoyed it when Van Dijk and Joshua were placed on the scale. Both have a large fan base in the field they compete in.
Joshua is in the process of negotiating two matches with his rival Tyson Fury this year.
