How hard does Anthony Joshua hit? Very hard. Just ask his 18 opponents, not to mention this video where he breaks a punching machine. Yes, you read that right.
Ahead of Joshua's eagerly anticipated world title unification fight with former heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko tonight, we take a trip down memory lane by reliving the moment he broke a punching machine.

You may have already seen it before but it's a clip so good that it's definitely worth watching ahead of tonight's bout.
The IBF champion and his good pal Troy Deeney were tasked with who could punch the machine the hardest. The Watford skipper has been with Joshua on his journey to stardom and here he was going one-on-one with him.
Being the pro, Joshua stepped up to the plate first. He delivered a BIG right-hand, notching a 797 score.

The Watford frontman then nailed the machine with a decent looking right-hand generating a score of 757.
Round 2.
The Watford-native then took a second swing. He hit the machine so hard, it failed to register a score. That is the sort of power that Wladimir Klitschko will have to contend with at a sold-out Wembley Stadium tonight.

A win for AJ over Klitschko tonight would see Joshua retain his IBF title as well as claiming the vacant WBA [Super] and IBO heavyweight titles, taking him to the next level in his career and cementing his place as the king of the heavyweight division.
