Anthony Joshua has revealed that one of the proudest moments of his boxing career came after he followed advice from football legend Cristiano Ronaldo. Joshua, who is gearing up for a major fight against Daniel Dubois at Wembley for the IBF World Heavyweight title, spoke about how Ronaldo’s influence extended beyond the football field.
Ronaldo, known for his exceptional dedication to fitness and his remarkable longevity at the age of 39, currently plays in the Saudi Pro League. It was in Saudi Arabia that Joshua and Ronaldo crossed paths, following Joshua’s knockout victory over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in Riyadh back in March.
In a recent interview with TNT Sports, Anthony Joshua was asked about the details of his conversation with Ronaldo after the fight. The boxer shared that Ronaldo gave him valuable advice on his feeding and training regimen, which he decided to follow. According to Joshua, Ronaldo emphasized the importance of rest and recovery, suggesting that getting enough sleep is key to maintaining peak physical condition.

After taking some of his recommendations, I managed to get seven hours of sleep, and that felt like my proudest moment to date.”
