BOXING fans have joked Oleksandr Uysk has “scrambled” Anthony Joshua’s brain following an X-rated rant on the Brit’s Instagram story.
It comes after promoter Eddie Hearn claimed talks were now underway between AJ’s camp and Dillian Whyte’s for a targeted August 12th bout.
However, following the promoter’s claim, Johusa took to his Instagram story to deny his knowledge of fight talks.
Drawing inspiration from the lyrics hit UK rapper Stormzy – who will manage the England team at this year’s Soccer Aid – AJ, 33, said: “I don’t know about any talks to fight Dillian Whyte.
“Everyday. AJ this, AJ that, AJ’s hairline going way back but I’ll still f*** your girl go retweet that.”
A follow-up post came soon after, with Joshua posting a picture of Stormzy on his story alongside the caption: “AJ’s this, AJ’s that.

A third typed: “Finally came outta his shell.”

“This AJ reminds me of the old AJ and I love it 😂💯,” confessed a fourth.
One fan even believes his Stormzy-inspired posts could mean the fight is on, claiming: “This could be a sign the fight is on: didn’t Stormzy walk him on for the first fight?”
Indeed, way back in 2015 – when AJ beat Whyte via a seventh-round TKO to win the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles – Stormzy performed during AJ’s ring walk.
The musician previously had beef with Whyte.
The heavyweight had claimed he could “knock out” Stormzy, with Stormzy responding by calling him out in his song “One Take”.
Stormzy’s lyrics were: “I clocked it, my man’s lost it. Man held a beating, the ref should’ve stopped it. Mopped it, had one chance you flopped it.
“Threatening me won’t make you the heavyweight champ, rudeboy stop this.”
As well as a rematch against Whyte, Joshua has also been linked with a bout against Deontay Wilder.
Indeed, promoter Frank Warren has even claimed AJ turned down a fight with Tyson Fury to target a showdown with the Bronze Bomber.
