I will be punching like a horse kicking backwards - Joshua

British Heavyweight Boxer Anthony Joshua says he is "punching like a horse kicking backwards" and holds no fear going into his highly anticipated rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr this Sunday.

Speaking in the final press conference before the ultimate showdown, Joshua says there is no way he is going to lose the fight.

He says he will weigh in lighter this time to move quicker which was always part of the plan since the defeat in New York.

The 30-year old says before he was trying to bench-press a house but now he has understood the sweet science of sport.

Meanwhile WBA, IBF and WBO Champion Andy Ruiz Jnr says he knows Joshua has trimmed down for the fight but he also maintains that there is no chance of Joshua winning this Sunday.

The boxing program for the second WBA, IBF and WBO title showdown in Saudi Arabia between current world champion Andy Ruiz Jr and former champion Anthony Joshua will start at 6am this Sunday.
