AJ as he is fondly called, also claimed that he’d very annoyed if the fight were written off.
Anthony (21-0, 20 KOs) is set to fight Povetkin September 22, a fight he hopes will lead to an even bigger clash, against Deontay Wilder who also has an impressive record (40-0, 39 KOs).
“Me and Wilder is the best fight in the division right now, not me and Povetkin,” Joshua said.
“The deal to fight Wilder is still on the table, if it was written off I’d be very annoyed.
“We were working on the fight before I beat Carlos Takam, then it was Joseph Parker and it still hasn’t happened… and now it’s Povetkin.
“But I want the big one, I am looking past Povetkin now I want the big guns. I am going to walk through Povetkin and for Wilder the date and location is here.”
“For the past seven months, I have found out what he wants in a contract, what he doesn’t want in a contract.
“He’s had 40 training camps, and even if you knock each opponent in a round you have still gone through hundreds of rounds in your camps, miles, and miles on the clock with all the running and with the body wear and tear he’s been a professional since 2009.”
