Anthony Joshua admits he is haunted by the fear of failure ahead of his next world title defence against Alexander Povetkin at Wembley Stadium this Sunday.
Britain's heavyweight star brings a 21‑fight unbeaten record, along with the WBA 'super', IBF and WBO belts into the bout against Povetkin.
Joshua says that ultimately as much as they think about winning, he thinks about losing and he cannot afford to lose.
Povetkin who is also a Olympic gold medallist, has proven his technical prowess throughout a 35‑fight professional career, with just a solitary defeat to Wladimir Klitschko, and Joshua accepts that he cannot make any costly lapses in concentration.
Joshua will fight Povetkin this Sunday and the fight program is expected to begin at 4am.
