Johnson hasn’t been shy in sharing his opinion this week, labelling his rival a “media hype job” before claiming that he had no power as he looks to protect his record of never being stopped in a fight.
The American heavyweight insists that he is in the best shape of his life heading into this bout, and he certainly looked in impressive condition on the sales on Friday.
However, as has come to be expected of him, so did Joshua and the pair went head-to-head with Johnson placing his hand on the Brit’s chest to feel for his heart-rate as he continues to try and unnerve him.
The 25-year-old insisted that it had no effect on him and he remains fully focused on moving to 13-0 with 13 KOs in his professional career as he makes the step up to his biggest test yet against an experienced and seemingly dangerous opponent.
To add further intrigue to the fight, Johnson has reportedly been training in Manchester for the past few weeks and sparring with Tyson Fury as he continues to insist that he will cause a huge upset on Saturday night.
