      But he could not duck and dodge his way out of answering the big questions when young fans Gabby and Harrison put them to him.
      On behalf of DAZN, they asked: “What celebrity would you most like to go on a date with?”
      To which Joshua, 33, said: “Oh gosh. Let me get my list out.
      “Which celebrity would I most like to go on a date with? There’s so many. Maybe Beyonce.”

      Unfortunately for Joshua, Beyonce is happily married to fellow music legend Jay Z.
      And AJ should know, having invited the American power couple to his rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr in December 2019.
      He told TMZ Sports at the time: “Barack Obama, The Rock, Will Smith, Jay-Z, Beyonce, some Instagram models.
      “I’m getting to the fantasy part of my brain now! Everyone and anyone is welcome!”

      Joshua can expect the stars to come out in full force for his return fight on Saturday at the O2 Arena against Jermaine Franklin, 29.
      He hopes a win will kickstart his road back to the heavyweight title, having not reigned since 2021.
      Joshua said: “The thing is, I do and I did want respect from people in the industry that I admire, ex-legends in the game and when you’re not a champion any more you feel like that goes away.
      So, that was definitely something I was yearning for, is the respect from ex-champions and when I’d lost it, it was like ‘f*** I’ve lost that invincibility’, but it’s all good.
      “We move forward. I’m not really doing it for that purpose any more because I’m not in that position, but the desire?
      “One is definitely to become champion, which I think is possible within the next 16 months.I think we’ve got to see what happens this year with the belts.
      “Let them be competed for and then potentially let them go up in the air and then we’ll see where the belts land.
      “Then just stay consistent, stay focused on improving for these next 12 to 16 months while I’m in title contention.”

      Boxing fans think they know REAL reason Tyson Fury won’t fight Oleksandr Usyk as old interview footage emerges

      While Fury won the 2013 bout against the American with a seventh-round knockout, he claimed that it was his “hardest fight” he ever had.
      In the TikTok video, Fury says: “Cunningham was the hardest fight I ever did have in my whole career, amateur or professional.
      “The reason being, he was very slippery.
      “The way I explain Cunnigham is like a conger eel pouring oil all in front of me.

      “I couldn’t pin him down, he was light on his feet, he was weighing 208lbs or something.
      “He was a three-time cruiserweight champion of the world.”
      The video then ends with a clip of the fight between the two in which Fury gets knocked down by a punch from Cunningham.
      And fans believe that Usyk has a similar style to that of Cunningham and that is the real reason why Fury did not want to fight the Ukrainian.

      One commented: “Usyk reminded him and he avoided it.”
      A second wrote: “Yep I remember this interview and Usyk is miles and miles better than Cunningham.”
      A third said: “One thing is guaranteed, Usyk would be a harder fight in every way.”
      A fourth user added: “I think the point people are making is that Usyk is a far better, technical, quicker fighter than Cunningham.”
      Talks between Fury and Usyk collapsed amid a row over the financials for a potential rematch.
      Both sides have blamed each other for failing to get it on.
      The pair had agreed in principle to an undisputed fight on April 29. More

      Whyte is the only one of the quartet not to have won a heavyweight world title outright – holding the interim WBC title twice between 2019 and 2022 – but according Wardley, he packs the heaviest punch.
      Speaking to talkSPORT, Wardley lifted the lid on his sparring sessions against some of the best boxers in the heavyweight division.
      He said: “To date, I’ve ticked most of them off now.
      “I’ve done Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte, Oleksandr Usyk, Filip Hrgovic, Derek Chisora.

      “All the big names and top ten guys, I’ve ticked them all off, which is something I’m quite happy with and I’m thankful to them for giving me that opportunity.
      “I’ve done more rounds with some than others.
      “Like with Joshua I’ve only done maybe ten rounds in total, whereas with Hrgovic I spent about a month in Miami with him training and when you spend more time with someone there’s more opportunity for them to land some sweeter shots.
      “But, the single time I’ve been hit the hardest is Dillian Whyte I think when he’s caught me with that quick check left hook a few times and it catches you by surprise.”

      “And I was under the influence of drugs as well, I was quite heavily sedated, but I knew something wasn’t right.
      “The guy next to me had died earlier on in the day, but because it was a Thai bank holiday they couldn’t move him until after the weekend.
