Anthony Joshua: "I need to win, I have to win. If it’s destined, if it’s meant to be it will be. But in terms of how the fight will go…I think blood and bruises. It will be tough, but it will be good. I’m ready, I do want to hurt him. That’s a fact. There are no games here, I do want to hurt him. [He can present] a lot of problems, but that’s high-level competition. I won’t go over everything I’ve been studying about him, but let’s just say he’s got a good mindset. He’s spoken a lot, so you know where his head’s at, he’s game. That’s good enough to bring the best out of me."

Otto Wallin: "I would say he is still one of the best heavyweights out there and he’s made an amazing career for himself. There has been a decline and I think he has reached his peak already. I think he is mentally fragile, he’s not sure of himself. He’s changed trainer and I think things can be very tough for him. People are very critical of him, he’s got a lot of pressure. So I think that weighs on him. I think it’s a problem for him, for sure [switching coaches]. I’ve had my trainer now for 10 years. We know each other really well. We trust each other in and out of the ring."
