In a recent interview, Anthony Joshua opened up about the cupping therapy session that caused quite a stir on social media. The heavyweight boxer, who is set to face fellow Brit Daniel Dubois in a highly-anticipated match at Wembley, is determined to become a three-time world champion. To achieve this, he has been leaving no stone unturned in his preparation for the fight, including trying out alternative therapies like cupping.
For those unfamiliar with the practice, cupping involves placing warm silicone cups on the skin, creating suction that draws fluid from the area. This is said to improve blood flow, reduce muscle fatigue, and alleviate pain and inflammation. While some may be skeptical about its benefits, Joshua believes it has been extremely helpful in keeping him fresh and ready for training.
When asked about his experience with cupping, Joshua explained, "Everyone's going to have a different opinion on what it does. But for me, it's all about stretching the fascia." He went on to describe how the tightness in certain areas of his body, like his shoulders and chest, can restrict his movement and affect his performance. Cupping helps to release this tension and improve his range of motion.
Despite facing back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua has bounced back under the guidance of Ben Davison, former trainer to Tyson Fury. His impressive knockout wins against Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou have proven his determination to reclaim the heavyweight title. However, Dubois also has a point to prove after his defeat to Usyk and has been showing great form in his recent fights.
Confident in his abilities, Dubois has boldly stated that he plans to break down Joshua and force him to quit during the fight. With both fighters in top shape and determined to come out on top, this is sure to be an intense and thrilling match. As for the cupping therapy, Joshua plans to continue incorporating it into his training routine, regardless of any naysayers. For him, it's all about keeping his body in top form and giving his all in the ring.
