‘He’s a bigger talent’ than Anthony Joshua… Rising star is going to take over alongside Moses Itauma, says ex-boxer

Leo Atang is more talented than Anthony Joshua, according to Gary Logan

While Anthony Joshua knocked out Wladimir Klitschko in just his 19th professional fight, Gary Logan thinks Leo Atang is more talented.

The trainer is adamant that the 18-year-old, who just won a gold medal at the 2024 World Boxing U19 Championships, is heading for big things.

The trainer told Sky Sports : “He’s a bigger talent. There are two big emerging young talents and one of them is Moses Itauma and Leo Atang.

“I bet money if you said, ‘What fighters do you watch’? They probably watch fighters from smaller weights rather than bigger fighters.

“It makes you fast twitch because you know you’ve got to move as quickly as they do. You want to emulate them.”

Anthony Joshua was wobbled before bouncing back

While Atang might achieve massive amounts in the sport, Anthony Joshua has already proven his skills beyond doubt.

The heavy hitter has compiled a tremendous resume.

And he’s showcased his fighting heart on many an occasion.

In a dramatic bout, Joshua got wobbled by an icon before knocking him out.
