ANTHONY JOSHUA has told SunSport he believes “there is other life in the universe”.
The heavyweight slugger is convinced there is more to life as we know it on planet earth.
AJ, 32, made the revelation when visiting The Sun’s HQ but said the term alien could just mean “a little worm living in some water” on a far away planet.
The Watford-born fighter is bidding to win back his WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO titles when he faces Oleksandr Usyk on August 20.
And while that hotly anticipated rematch is at the forefront of his mind, Joshua admitted he “could go on for hours” on the topic of aliens.
When asked if he believed in them, AJ told SunSport: “What we call aliens could be extraterrestrial life, normal life.

Anthony Joshua reveals he’d love to go drinking with Tyson Fury
“A little worm living in some water on another planet.
“I find it crazy we’re floating in the middle of the universe right now.
“I could go on for hours. I do believe there is other life in the universe.”
Joshua also revealed he would love to go out drinking with heavyweight rival Tyson Fury.

The pair are often embroiled in a war of words, with Fury ripping into AJ last week claiming he had tried to make a fight against Joshua six times.
Now though both fighters have given the other shock praise.
While AJ told SunSport Fury is “one of the lads”, Fury yesterday slammed the “bulls**t” criticism of Joshua that came after his first defeat to Usyk.
The retired Gypsy King said on Instagram: “Tyson Fury [here] and this is my defence of AJ. Everyone’s saying, ‘AJ’s a bum.’ He’s this, he’s that, ‘He can’t fight’ because he’s lost a few [fights].
“But AJ has made it in life. The man can go to the pub every single day and drink Peroni if he wants to.
“He can go on holiday every day, he can plan with his kids every day of his life.
“So I don’t want to hear any more of this bulls**t that AJ’s this, he’s that, he’s useless, he can’t fight. The man’s made it, be happy for him.”
