Anthony Joshua reveals Dillian Whyte was one of two boxers who have ever dragged him into trash talking match

, Anthony Joshua reveals Dillian Whyte was one of two boxers who have ever dragged him into trash talking match

ANTHONY JOSHUA revealed only Dillian Whyte and Jarrell Miller have got under his skin as they dragged him into a verbal war ahead of their scheduled bouts.

The WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion knocked out the Body Snatcher in 2015, while his proposed fight to face Big Baby was scrapped last year after the American failed multiple drug tests.

Anthony Joshua has revealed he has engaged in trash talk with only two fighters

After former WBC king Deontay Wilder labelled AJ as not a true champion, Joshua was asked by SI Boxing’s Chris Mannix whether he feels the need to trash talk with boxers.

He said: “Oh yeah, oh yeah. I went into my drawer and pulled out my long list of things to say, I’ve got a lot of things to say about Wilder.

“But you don’t knock a man when he’s down, also. And that was at the top of the list. I have to stand by those principles.

“But for sure, I think me and Wilder, as I say, are cut from a different cloth. He’s what we call… it begins with a ‘b’ and ends with a ‘h’. I’m not like that, I’m more of a man.”

Before adding: “I don’t really get on the internet talking crap. The only times you’ve seen me talking recklessly is against Dillian Whyte and Jarrell Miller.

“Other than that I’m an ambassador of the sport. I’m trying to be clean, representing my sponsorships, represent DAZN properly, I try to stay away from the typical stereotype of a heavyweight boxer.

“It’s difficult but I have it in me to fire up and talk recklessly when needed.”

Joshua was uncharacteristically outspoken in the build-up to his scheduled bout against Miller, as he branded the American as a “b***h” while declaring he pays his mum’s rent.

Speaking at their press conference, he said: “He is a former drug abuser, he hits like a fairy, he is the softest puncher in the division.

“I pay his mum’s rent. He should bow down to me, I am his landlord. The only way he can win is a lucky punch. I am his landlord.

“I am not here trying to play a gangster role, I am here to collect rent. Jarrell Miller is a b***h.”

Prior to his seventh-round stoppage win against Whyte in 2015, Joshua branded his compatriot as ‘irrelevant’ and a ‘hater’.

And in their last press conference, he stated: “He’s just another fighter. My heart don’t beat no fear for him.

“I’ve trained for a 12-round fight, but I think it will go three or four rounds.”
