He picked out one quality.

Michael Hunter picked Anthony Joshua’s greatest quality as his “strength”.

American heavyweight Hunter is yet to taste defeat in his current weight class, his only defeat coming against Oleksandr Usyk as a cruiserweight back in 2017.

However, he has not progressed to challenge for a world title, and recently found himself working with Joshua at a camp with Derrick James.

Joshua went through a few trainers after his twin defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, but won his most recent bout against Francis Ngannou back in February. He is linked with a September return against Daniel Dubois.

Speaking to Boxing Scene , Hunter praised Joshua’s strength, and more besides.

He said: “I think his is his strength. Also, that he works hard. I will say he has a decent little eye. He’s learning. I think that that’s an attribute in itself that he’s not set in his ways that he’s still learning.

“So he could be different. You never really know what you’re going to get with him. He could change up a little bit. But I think that yeah, his strength.”

Hunter also defended him from criticism, noting: “We got to give him a lot of credit and there’s a lot of times we criticize him because he is kind of learning. I know he went to the Olympics and all that but he’s still learning on the job, trying to find himself.

“That’s what I see. I know he’s experienced, he has a lot of fights and been on a lot of big stages. So I don’t know if that would be an excuse for him. But, from what I see, he’s still trying to kind of figure himself out.
