STAY HUNGRY, STAY HUMBLE..... The word of the 2x Heavy Weight Champion of Boxing, Anthony Joshua who came from defeat to hero. Let's quickly do the analysis of this powerful and profound statement made by him.
What does it mean to stay hungry? It means self-discipline, focus, adequate preparation , never-give-up attitude. It also means discipline in the type of food to eat, when and the number of times to eat in a day. Discipline in doing exercises like jugging, weightlifting, cycling, boxing in the ring etc.
These painful exercises for body building were done everyday. He wasn't distracted by noises from other boxers who wanted a fight with him but focused on only one fight with Andy Ruiz. He stayed focus for months in spite of shame and humiliation of defeat in New York. He didn't give up but exerted more effort by preparing adequately. This made him lose 11 pounds. To be a champion is not a joke.
What does it mean to stay humble? It means humility of heart after victory or defeat. He was so humble to learn from his mistakes and improved on his skills. He was so humble enough not to give excuses but rather worked harder. He was so humble enough to suffer humiliation of going back to the ring for training in order to gain back his victory. He even went for more courses in boxing which made him see boxing as a science.
When he was asked his #1 fight, he said the one he lost to Andy Ruiz and presented this fight he won as #2. He said the previous fight taught him many lessons he used to win this new fight. I also love Andy Ruiz. He admitted his faults of gaining more weight and not preparing well. He gave no excuse for losing that he would go back to lose more weight and become more fit for the 3rd fight - he actually called for 3rd fight.
AJ stayed HUNGRY by losing 11 pounds through discipline and adequate preparation while Ruiz stayed "BELLEFUL" by gaining more pounds through indiscipline. We can all see the difference in their scores (118 - 110, 119 - 109).
There are many lessons to learn from this fight like:
- To stay hungry and humble even after victory.
- Not allowing fame and accolades of men enter your head or else you'll nose dive.
- Champions admit their errors and don't give excuses. They would rather go back for adequate preparation and improved on their skills as far as going for more courses.
Don't forget this word...... STAY HUNGRY, STAY HUMBLE.
