One of the sport's heaviest hitters, Anthony Joshua, joins today's show! Mike and Lance share their thoughts on Joshua's upcoming fight against Kubrat Pulev, and what they expect from their bout (1:00). Joshua, himself, breaks down Pulev's style and dishes on what he expects from 39-year-old Bulgarian (6:30). What did Joshua learn from his clashes against Andy Ruiz (10:15)? Did his loss to Ruiz ultimately help him improve his fight preparation? What thought, if any, does he have on Deontay Wilder's baseless accusations towards Tyson Fury (11:30)? Plus, what are Joshua's thoughts on elevating his stardom even further as his career progresses, and what's his friendship with Wladimir Klitschko been like (13:00)? The guys cover Errol Spence Jr.'s win over Danny Garcia, and if Terence Crawford is next for Spence Jr. (21:15). Where does Spence Jr. fall on Pug and Copp's pound-for-pound standings? Lastly, the duo chat about Mayweather-Paul (34:00).
