Anthony Joshua hit out at Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury during the first press conference ahead of Joshua vs Whyte II on Monday afternoon.

AJ went face-to-face with Dillian Whyte for the first time after his August 12 bout with the British heavyweight was announced last week.

During the press conference, AJ was asked whether he was using the bout to prepare for a Saudi Arabian showdown with Deontay Wilder later in the year.

Joshua was quick to shut down claims and tell reporters that he was fed up with the Bronze Bomber before throwing shade at the Gypsy King.

Joshua said: ‘Forget Wilder and them lot. Them lot are doing my head in for years. You lot have seen now the shenanigans that go on in the heavyweight division.’

‘I’ll be real it’s even going on with Fury. He came out and said he was training for Usyk and then Sugar Hill came out and said he wasn’t training him. You can see all the lies that are going on.’

When asked why he decided to face Whyte for a second time after previously beating him in 2015, AJ said ‘it was good business’.

He told reporters: ‘I’m definitely up for fighting. There are a lot of names in the division but look what this fight does. This fight does good business.’

 

AJ also touched on the long-standing rivalry between himself and Whyte. He described the Body Snatcher as ‘just another body’.

 

Speaking at Monday’s press conference, Joshua said: ‘I don’t really think of Dillian as a rival. He’s just another body. A lot of people hate on me.

 

‘I don’t look at him as a rival, I just think about myself. Staying in my lane and doing what I need to do. I am here now and I am ready to rock and roll. I don’t care what people think and say about me.’

 

AJ also refused to say whether he would knock Whyte out and recreate history after sending the Body Snatcher to the canvas during their previous bout.
