I Now Get Quoted For Interviews I Never Granted – Anthony Joshua

Popular boxer, Anthony Joshua has come out to react to claims that he accepted a £15m step aside offer to allow an undisputed world title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting

According to him, the funny thing about the lies is that he now sees himself getting quoted from interviews he never granted, and he wonders where the press got them from.

Anthony Joshua added that people should stop paying attention to the deceit because the only thing that is real is what comes out of his mouth.

His words, “You know what’s bad about all these interviews I see? I see interviews that quote what I said, I think to myself, I ain’t done no interviews.”

“Where did this person get this information from? I see people saying “AJ accepts £15m to step aside.”

“I ain’t signed no contract, I ain’t seen no contract. As it stands, stop listening to the b*****t until it comes from me.”

“I’m the man in control of my destiny. I’m the man who handles my business. I’m a smart individual and I make calculated decisions every step of the way.”

“Don’t listen to the b******t from other sources. If I tell you something then you know it’s real.”

WOW.

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua, OBE (born 15 October 1989) is a British professional boxer who is a two-time unified heavyweight champion, having held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles since December 2019 and previously between 2016 and June 2019. At regional level, he held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles from 2014 to 2016.

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born on 15 October 1989 in Watford, Hertfordshire, the son of Yeta and Robert Joshua. His mother is Nigerian, while his father is of Nigerian and Irish ancestry. Joshua’s Nigerian background can be specifically traced back to the Yoruba people, amongst whom he is of aristocratic rank.

His cousin, Ben Ileyemi, is also a professional boxer. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013. Joshua spent some of his early years in Nigeria as a boarding school student at Mayflower School in Ikenne.

Following his parents’ divorce when he was 12, he returned to the UK halfway through Year Seven to join Kings Langley Secondary School. Growing up on the Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire, he was called “Femi” by his friends and former teachers, due to his middle name, Oluwafemi. He excelled at football and athletics and broke his school’s Year Nine 100 m record with a time of 11.6 seconds.
