British-Nigerian boxing superstar Anthony Joshua has revealed a surprising insight into his mindset, explaining why he often feels happier during difficult periods rather than moments of triumph. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The two-time heavyweight world champion admitted that struggles and setbacks bring out the best in him, pushing him to train harder, stay focused, and remain grounded amid life’s pressures.
Finding Strength in Adversity

Joshua explained that while success comes with its own challenges — including public expectations, scrutiny, and distractions — periods of difficulty allow him to reconnect with himself and rediscover his hunger for greatness.

“Being in a bad place forces me to reflect deeply, rebuild, and fuel my determination to bounce back,” he said, noting that adversity has been a crucial part of his journey both inside and outside the boxing ring.

A Philosophy of Growth

The boxing champion’s candid statement underscores his resilience and philosophy: that challenges are not just obstacles, but opportunities for growth and self-discovery.

Fans of Joshua see his mindset as a blueprint for navigating the highs and lows of a demanding sporting career, proving that even champions find strength in their toughest moments.

FarahAideed:

Konjiboii:

Did Bill Cosby, MC hammer, P.diddy, Mike Tyson,Sean Kingston also lie at the feet of Buhari?

Fame comes with it's challenges.

No need pointing accusing fingers on other people.

I understand your point here. But how can the people be on your side when you align with the enemy of the people.
Bihari is the cause of so much suffering, pain and even death in thousands of Nigerian households. So when the guy shows unnecessary love and loyalty to the enemy of the people, how do we expect the people to think well of him or regard him as their champion?
AJ has become buharis champion. He is no longer the people's champion. Still I wish him well. He already has a great life and has done what most will never achieve. I wish him greater days but I also wish that he will no longer align with the enemy of the people.

Many made their money legitimately during Buhari era. It is only you, lazy youth that's complaining.

Ethno-religio-tribal bigotry is your problem concerning Buhari.
