Anthony Joshua Talks Jarrell Miller, Answering To Deontay Wilder, Staying Humble + More

champion with only one face, so we were fine. Wilder won ten pounds and we are going to offer him x he wants all the belts. We have all the belts. The biggest stadium, but him. He wasn't interested, so now what we've done is come to the United States also to show that if you don't want to do it on our territory, we can come here and box on your territory. Well, so it's just a power move as well as a passionate move for the love of the sport and then once I get the big baby out of the way, yeah, um, yeah. wild and fury I'm still not interested because I was talking about including myself. blacklisted, they don't really want me to lead the group as such in terms of negotiations, which is strange to me because there's enough for everyone to eat and then I can watch.

Straight up to Louis Ortiz because that's the next guy that I feel like once he's broken the market in the US, he's a good fighter, I'm talking like he's broken, yeah, that'll tell you he's not in Louis Ortiz Tyson. fury oh wow no, he's right, he's right, the big baby is good, but those guys are elite, they really are, do you think you can beat any of those guys 100? What makes you think that, um, statistics and facts? I've been in the game. uh a lot less time I've swum deeper and I've come to the top every time so I guess I'm just born to do what I do and I don't need to brag or brag about it either.

I was simply born. do what I do and there's no two ways, there's no two ways to do it, but I'm aware that I don't think you can beat any of those guys, Ortiz Fury or Wild, but that's what it was now, it's good because I used to carrying this whole division on my own back but now it's good to have an opinion, yes, yes, I had to have a big bat, I had to get stronger, you know, I have a set skin because opinions and stuff, but now it's good . have oh I don't think you can beat wild I don't think you can beat fury the division is thriving as a whole everyone is bringing signs to the table now before I was sitting here and that's why I have a lot of envy and hate because they said why him, why him, where him, but I was saying, but you guys have been professionals for 10 or 15 years and you never made the move to fight anyone, that is, some of you fought vladimir klitschko a fight and now you became a boxing god, but he is.

I went pro at 11 and I'm thinking what it took these guys so long to grow some nuts. It seems like they're crazy and they drop when we come and we did it in four years when it took them 10, 10 years, so, um. Not only did I know that like the stats and the facts, I'm only at higher levels because I have the balls and the skills, why the last two fights, even though he fought Ortiz, he fought hard, he fought furiously to fight those two tough fights consecutive? They're hard to get back into that fight and I think he realized that if he wants to earn respect as a champion he can't have 38 fights, 40 fights without fighting, isn't it amazing, so I think he realized that you know I want to be popular in In the United States I want to be with the athletes and movie stars and earn the respect of people in my own industry.

I need to fight people so it took him 10 years to develop that trust which is fine but now he's here and he's got a young champion coming in we've been negotiating trying to make this fight and I'm sure it's going to happen because we're in Same era, same divide, there's no reason it can't happen, it's just timing, unfortunately, we feel the same way. By the way, we saw you fight Klitschko, but I mean who, who, since then, then, Parker, so the thing is, I thought in my 16th fight I took the title and defended it against Dominic Brazil, who probably will be the next one to fight for Wilder, so it's like why are you? going back, but anyway, Fort Brasil defended him against I was supposed to fight Klitschko immediately after defending against Molina because Klitschko came off an injury, bang Klitschko, so now I had my hand on a belt, three fights later I took another belt.

I defended him. against another fighter he beat parker he took his belt so now I say I've put it all together so it's like lord of the rings I've got the wildest four come see me if you think you're the best in the world at the king of the king of the division, come and beat and try it and then you can go crazy and be there, you know, negotiate the crazy terms that you're talking about, so I felt like if you were the best in the world and you and you really believe it , come see me, let's put pen to paper and then you'll have a chance to fight in front of a hundred thousand people, payday, all the belts and you can show the world that you're the best buy, it's just been a bit of a tough one.

Now what would be an eternal madman because Wilder said he was willing to come fight on your turf he said he was willing to take less money what was the problem that's the thing I couldn't even tell you yeah that's what baffles me So, like I said, April 13th we had the date set and it was like when you started hearing certain things and it was like, oh we want to blacklist him if you hear what he says sometimes, oh he's been trying to contact our management , but we are. I'm not interested Tyson Fury um, that's the guy we want, but then I say, but it was about a face, a name, a champion, but I can't really control what Wilder says or what he does, I just don't say that when be ready, we will be. ready and whatever he's done in his career, we can top it and double it, triple it and give him a better offer than he's ever seen before and give him a chance to become one of the greatest wrestlers ever.

You listen to when he was in the breakfast club. I listened to many of his interviews. I'm shit. I will definitely listen to them now. We did it right. We did it right. We got you. I had to deal with aerial sports. They wanted me to come and commentate for them and I told them I was coming on one condition and the turn was to get in the ring with Joshua at the end of the night so we talked about aerial sports so I told the one and only The time I left someone getting in the ring after the fight was when I signed the deal, so Klitschko got in the ring with me because we had a signing deal and I was like, "Let's get him in the ring after he wins and now we promote." the fight saying the set date the set fight why would I want it to be without signing any contract so why do you get in the ring?

This is not about profiling or hype if you are serious and want to get in the ring let the world know we have a fight if so if you are not serious and you haven't signed a fight there is no need to get in the ring because this is my show, yes, that makes sense, yes, it did. just sign the contract, let's make the door, then let's get in the ring and we will announce to the world to listen, the next two champions are fighting each other and there will be a face by that time, we didn't have any agreement so I said. don't waste your time on my time um the fight is already big we don't need to not waste any promotion that's right yeah that's what it was so that was that situation that was my opinion on that situation.

I like the way you are. In producing this, tell you, you know, a couple of days later, I got a phone call from my manager. He told me that that won't be able to happen because Joshua talked to me about security. I even heard about restraining orders and things that say he doesn't want to go overboard to fight, you know why and you know, and it's no, it's true, but there are no restraining orders. I don't like it very much, hey, the security savage isn't coming anyway, so why do I worry? opponent's safety yes, just a situation where signing the contract is a good fight to promote, get in the ring, we can talk to all the cows, come on, then they say

more

wild, why are you here?

We're trying to negotiate a fight, yeah, yeah. makes sense so that was just my opinion on that situation okay

more

but his point is 75 percent correct and his promoter you know he always manipulates the fans there he always tells them different stories so they can because They don't want to fight with me. You know what I mean, they don't want to fight me at all. Joshua is afraid of losing and they know that I am the most dangerous man in this period of the game in terms of the most dangerous man in this game, I really don't know.

Those opinions are fine, I really don't think he has a good talent, but I don't think he is the most dangerous man in this game in terms of freedom and illusion, of course, that's how I feel, I don't want to lose, but neither does he, but it's not a point in a situation where I will stop doing what I love because I'm afraid of losing if you can't enjoy if it's not raining, you can't enjoy the sun, it comes with losing territory in this game so I never have afraid of losing, it is what it is, but like I said, if he's serious, if he's serious, he had a chance to date the established venue, you just weren't interested if you could find an interview when he says they want to list him black.

They want to keep me out of the game. I have been trying to contact his management. They are not interested. They want to fight Tyson Fury. They want revenge with him. So there are always contradictions that you can find and if you heard what I said it was that there was an offer of 50 million. I said that's a really good offer. They offered me 50 million to come here? I said it's a really good deal, but we just wanted to see evidence of funds that weren't. available, so we said, okay, great, let's finish this in the UK on April 13.

I made it away and then he said he wanted to blacklist me and fight Tyson Fury and that was the situation. Linux Lewis said it's your promoter Eddie Hearns. Bad decisions. that made the wild fight not happen no, Eddie, in my opinion, has done a phenomenal job to bring boxing back, he's taken over the game, um, but I don't like him very much, it's hard to say, he said, she said, of course, look. It's my fault too and it's his fault I'm not going to say it was all his fault and I'm sitting here ready because why is it your fault that the fight wasn't made at some point maybe I didn't make the fight? right offer or something like John, I mean, it's a little bit of both too, so he didn't like certain things, I didn't like certain things, maybe I should have given him everything he wanted to make the fight happen. , but in hindsight I have people who are managing me, protecting me and saying, "You know what you have to do, it's a negotiation too, you don't get what you work for, you get what you negotiate for and, uh, it's tough times when you have two people who They bring something to the table and sooner or later we'll find out who's the best and that's where we go, like you said, like Ortiz Wilder, uh, fury, we'll all connect the dots, you know, later, I know it's a strategy. and they are building the brand that

anthony

joshua

do you think eddie Hearns believes in you like he says because he won't put you in the ring with any of those guys right now I just feel like we made the offers like we did to Tyson Fury.

A great offer to fight on April 13. He said that he was not interested in any percentage division. Give him a flat rate. just say procumben this april looks like he's afraid, no wonder it comes from fury, yes the proof is in the pudding. I could get up like emails and fill out the test is in the pudding. We made lucrative offers for these guys to fight and I'm saying it. like when he was fighting for the championship belt, I took the short end of the stick because I knew I wanted to prove that he was the best and once I do that, now I can sit here as a king and say that he runs the division.

Come see me, so I'm saying I have four major belts, what more do you want? You get to fight for the belts, your biggest payday. I have given you your biggest payday. I fight in front of 100,000 people. so it's a global sporting event to build your profile look at the great baby

miller

he's gone and now he's become a youtube sensation for that push so you can see he's a global youtube so it's like he's a it's a it's a global event so with all these positive things it baffles me to say why they don't really want to fight yet so you think these people are afraid of you instead of us thinking you're afraid of them. think honestly hannah my heart there is no fear in any of these guys hand in hand in the heart the word is born the word is born I said the word is born dead ass eh yes the word is more than that I have to hunt it down for you none of these guys have scary, but I feel like they want big rewards for less risk, but they're getting it, that's my point too, yeah, that's my point, but like I say, maybe it's my fault, maybe it's their fault, not the game of the blame.

I don't think they're afraid, I just feel like they want big rewards for less risk. Do you think boxing is more about politics and making money than the actual sport? Yes, yes, massively, yes massively, which is fine because Mayweather proved it. we have to take care of your business you have to be you know what I mean he changed the game what's the problem with making money,reproduction, but it gets lost in translation because there are so many other things going on in the world that you know it's easy to fall into lust and temptation, so what do you like?

You have your perfect specimen of the woman you want. American women are nice, American women, black American women. white American women American women you are like sisters yes my brother I am going to shake your hand but it is the sisters who are going to be bleeding to hit no, yes, don't worry about it, yes, stupid, yes, yes, yes, definitely, definitely, American women are Good, you got someone for them, yeah, you had your eye on whoever my birthday was, sent me one the other day to the ground, yeah, let me see, oh boy, call on the phone during the show, you might know, she's a model, she was on the uh. the rock nation launch party the roc nation the brunch lori harvey no no larry harvey she's with memphis oh yeah she was with memphis the player won the football i know memphis um the management team was looking at me like don't you pick up your phone memphis memphis depay is a soccer player from europe who was laurie harvey who was who laurieharvey was with before trey that's what you're talking about you're talking no, I'm not talking about laurie I'm not talking about laura being beautiful although lori is beautiful I'm going to have to let the rock nation low key brunch she's low key you gave her a direct message yet no I can't do that I can't do that why is she lost among the millions of others yeah but you

anthony

joshua

well as you know what we appreciate you for joining us I'm listening to you 200 200 200 right now you don't even have to close your feet you could do an opening just never never never never never I have a lot of respect for you too and you know, I liked the interview like well, when you were debating with Killer Mike, oh, Killer Mike, school, yes, school, public school, and that's big, that you have that problem in the UK.

I think that's what it's based on. Killer Mike is a community situation, he's just saying you have to support your own from the grassroots, like setting up private schools and stuff, that's what I'm talking to Andy about, what we talk about every day, oh, you got Andy, yes, I have Andy on the team. Everyone needs a babysitter in their lives. Everyone needs a babysitter. It happened and we're in America they don't race in America you're not with your guys now but you're okay with the community aspect yeah yeah yeah massive massive that was a great interview and you learn a lot yeah you learn a lot. so I hope you don't agree, yes, yes, yes, he has a conversation with your points and his and it was fine, that's what I talk to him about his private schools, but the main thing is that when you come to this program You get your point. and I think one of the main things is my experience, how I am as a person, what I'm doing and also the situation with the heavyweight division, I fought a lot against um, I thought they were Olympians, I fought against champions in my space of four years and The situation we are in now is that I have made great offers to fight for all the belts and allow these guys to prove that they are the best in the world and seriously, when they are ready, I will be more than willing to open. and negotiate I have learned my mistakes and I hope they have learned from their mistakes so why didn't it happen and then we can reason about how to make it happen in the future Do you feel respected as a boxer?

Did you know? right, uh, yeah, I feel respected. I was having this debate the other day. But you can't look for it because I feel like I'll start doing things to meet people's expectations of what respect is, so I feel like uh. I look? I think people appreciate you more when you're not there and that's what I say. It's not so much about now, but about looking in the mirror when I'm eight years old and saying I made the right decisions. It doesn't matter what anyone says, it's about how I feel and where I'm going with my career now.

It's about looking in the mirror and saying: Am I doing the right thing? And as long as I'm happy, I'm fine. I think that you and Wilder absolutely have to fight each other, this is going to happen because if you don't, then everyone will say why, so that you both really are the type of this generation that you will have. fight each other even more than furia and ortiz yes yes yes everyone has to fight each other and there is nothing wrong with him losing, it was as crazy as he sounds, the main thing is that everyone likes a warrior. who tried it and if you can show that you are doing your best, they will respect you anyway.

Floyd ruined the game with the undefeated situation. Yeah, everyone wants to see an undefeated game with that, but that's why I'm just saying. It's good to keep it real like rain, sun, day and night, winning and losing, it all goes hand in hand, it's not about that you can lose today, but it can have a lot more meaning in the future, about why you went through that situation, so there is nothing. The bad thing about losing happens in life, that's how you bounce back and that's the message I'm trying to get across to people now is don't worry, as long as you try, you're not going to lie, you're setting it up.

So when you lose the ortiz or losers we remember what you just said no because that was the situation I feel like I wouldn't take it so seriously if I was already thinking that I was going to lose I wouldn't really dedicate myself to the game I think that's okay, right? What more can I get out of this game? Because I'm not going to win anyway, but it's not that situation, but I know the reality of life and I'm very real with myself, if I sleep. late I'm going to wake up tired if I eat burgers I won't be able to train properly if I fight the best in the world they have a great chance to hit if these guys weigh 18 stone and land flush my draw may not be so I need to work on my defense, so it's like Derek Azor fought Dylan the other week, he got hit with a left hook and he had been dodging that left hook all training camp and it hit. him in the eleventh round and he knocked him out and it was just one of those situations where he couldn't escape but he recovered so you have to be real with yourself because if I'm not real with myself when a situation happens, I don't think I can recover because I've lived in a fantasy in a fantasy world, how important is it to get a knockout against a big baby?

Yes, there is no doubt that you cannot make the decision of what. round we'll be looking at you like you're crazy I said round eight because there are two hearts for the fight there are three four yesterday yes, I know it's uh, that's that's the height, that's right, push, that's exaggeration, that's exaggeration, like that that that was because of the push so realistically. there are two sides of the fight there are 12 rounds that you divide in half they are six six first six second six first six each fighter comes well second six you will see who they really are and where their heads are and that is why I think I have a level up and I'll eliminate it, yes, because I mean it's your first fight in the United States on June 1 at Madison Square Garden.

If you make a decision with the big baby, we'll all look at you like he's telling you he's ready for the big dogs. this is the situation yeah im making it look like big baby trash yeah its not trash only if anthony joshua is who people say he is yeah yeah she knocks out big babies thats how i need it on my corner, okay, that's what I need to hear when I'm tired if you're who they say you are you need to come out the new bundini brown well thanks for joining me thanks for having me thank you very much don't be a stranger when you come new york man stop here every time someone on the plane gives me a book coming back from jamaica, which one i bought two of them, they're both from the new york times, oh my god, thank you, anthony joshua, it's the breakfast club, good morning, it's you.
