Anthony Joshua hit out at Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder during the first press conference ahead of his bout against Dillian Whyte 2 on Monday.
Joshua went face-to-face with Dillian Whyte for the first time since his August 12 bout with the British heavyweight was announced last week.
During the press conference, Joshua was asked if he was using the bout to prepare for a Saudi Arabian showdown with Deontay Wilder later in the year..
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.’
Joshua further said: ‘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.’
While speaking further, Joshua commented on the long-standing rivalry between himself and Whyte. He described the Body Snatcher as ‘just another body’.
‘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.’
