    I was thinking the same, then this video was made, I suspect it may have been because he knows he’s retiring or close to retirement and he’s happy for the end of how hard/brutal boxing can be physically and mentally.
    What do you think?

    For the first time in his whole career the pressure is finally off.

    Because he can finally enjoy his money and all the pressure is off his shoulders

    He doesn't want to do what it takes in the ring to be a great fighter. Most fighters wouldn't if they had that kind of money, but he's made it clear that this is a David Haye style max out earnings operation.

    The pity is that the heavy marketing has influenced a legion of sad souls who still think he's a great fighter.

    Probably coming to the reality in his head that the game is nearly up for him and in a way it is less pressure on his head.

    Two reasons :
    1/ The pressure is off now.
    2/ He knows he will never have to fight Dubois again.

    Apart from being relieved of the pressure now Joshua has always cared about how he’s perceived by the public so his worst fears came true when he was truly iced for the first time and his moment of trying to get up turned to a bit of a meme looking like he was break dancing. The best way to face the world after that is to act happy, unfazed and carry yourself with your head held high.

    Because Eddie Hearn told him that he's equal to Tyson Fury given Fury also lost to Usyk...
