‘Turn the camera off’ – Anthony Joshua asks reporter ‘why are you asking me that?’ in very awkward interview

ANTHONY JOSHUA snapped when asked about the upcoming blockbuster fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois.

Usyk, 38, and Dubois, 27, are scheduled to lock horns on July 19 at Wembley Stadium for the undisputed heavyweight crown.

Joshua, 35, has history with the two fellow heavyweights as he lost to both of them – twice against the undefeated Usyk.

The Brit was asked to give his thoughts about the highly-anticipated rematch and he didn’t seem at all keen to talk about it.

Joshua told iFL TV after a long awkward pause: “I think it’s going to be good…

“I’ve got a few thoughts about it but I feel like I don’t want to talk too much.

“Because it’s not my fight, it’s their fight. Don’t want to promote their fight. I’ll be honest with you, I don’t want to talk about it.”

The reporter tried to press after Joshua‘s unexpected response to his question.

That’s when AJ appeared to snap as he stated: “Why are you asking me? Turn the camera off if you’re going to ask me about it.

“You’re asking me in front of a bright light in front of the media to promote your channel and their fight… I’m not doing it.”

Joshua has not fought since he was knocked out by fellow Brit Dubois in September at Wembley.

The two-time world champion has not been able to resume full training due to an elbow injury which has left him “unable to punch properly”.

And amid fight rumours of a long-awaited showdown with Tyson Fury, the Watford native will now be forced to put those plans on hold as he will need surgery.

Meanwhile, AJ has revealed he’s on course to punch a serious investment in Watford.

The former two-time unified heavyweight champion, who has earned over £219MILLION in his boxing career, grew up in the town and has given back to the community through his Clean Herts Community initiative over the years.

But the Watford warrior, 35, now wants to use his millions in the bank to help get the Hornets buzzing again.
