How would you respond after being knocked down by 240.5lbs of boxing prowess?

That was the question Anthony Joshua faced at Wembley Stadium back in April after he was floored by boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko in their world heavyweight title fight.

Add to equation that this was the first time in his career that he had been grounded. Joshua himself admits he had a decision to make. Say ‘enough is enough’, or carry on fighting.

Speaking on the BBC’s The Graham Norton Show, Joshua reflected on the night he became world heavyweight champion.

Asked about being knocked down in the sixth round by Klitschko, Joshua said: “It’s the one thing I didn't train for. Out of all the stuff I have trained for, this is the one thing you don't prepare for.”

“So you go into that fight or flight mode where I can either stay on my back and say to myself "I've given it my all and I'm happy with going this far" or you get up and fight the extra rounds and you think "I want to go that little bit further".

“It's just that fight or flight mode because, as I said, it's not something you prepare for. So when you find yourself in that situation, I think then it becomes about character.

“So takeaway everything you been taught. You have to un-teach yourself and go into "who are you and what do you represent?". That's a fight, I'm a fighting man so I got up and carried on scrapping with him.”

Joshua would of course defeat the Ukrainian in the eleventh round.
