Anthony Joshua was adamant his swollen eyes were not going to be a problem ahead of his heavyweight title defence against Andy Ruiz Jr.
The 29-year-old defends his IBF, WBA and WBO world heavyweight titles against the Mexican at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.
“What happened right, I was sparring a lion, because I really want to take this camp seriously,” Joshua told Sky Sports. “It's just been tough, difficult training. I'm a fighter so the scars and stuff - look at my hands and stuff. That's just another added war wound to my list of scars so that's all it is.”
