Anthony Joshua admits he learns from Katie Taylor and believes she will take another step towards becoming an undisputed champion by defeating WBO title holder Rose Volante.
Ireland’s unified world lightweight champion can add a third world belt when she battles Volante on Friday in Philadelphia.
Joshua defends his own WBA ‘super’ IBF and WBO heavyweight belts against Jarrell Miller on June 1, live on Sky Sports Box Office, and continues to be impressed by Taylor’s fighting style and steely composure.
“When I watch her, I learn from her as well,” Joshua told Sky Sports. “Even as a champion, I watch her and think I need to do something like that. She has her skills and technique down to a tee.
“I think for Katie and anyone who is fighting, it’s just important to be yourself. She’s definitely going to become undisputed champ.
“She’s very calming, which is working for her, she’s a beast in the ring, and just keep on doing what you’re doing.
“Some people talk a good game on the outside, but they don’t fight like it on the inside.”
