Anthony Joshua scaring the living sh*t out of a reporter will never, ever get old

Anthony Joshua ruthlessly pranked a reporter.

Anthony Joshua scaring the living sh*t out of a reporter during a hilarious interview will never, EVER get old.

Joshua returns to action this weekend as he faces Jermaine Franklin, having suffered back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.

He's hinted at retirement if he fails to beat the American and judging by his acting skills, a move into Hollywood could be on the cards.

During Joshua's rise in the heavyweight ranks, he was often accused of being 'too nice' for a heavyweight prizefighter.

He took part in an interview where the reporter asked him that very question: "Are you too nice to be a boxer?"

Joshua then channeled the menacing character he possesses in the ring, firing back: "You asked me that question a minute ago. Don't ask me that question (again)."

The former world champion boxer faced the reporter and continued to berate him, referencing the ridiculous question.

Speaking directly at him, he said: "Ask me that question again if you think I'm too nice."

He continued the prank by speaking to 'Andy' who was outside of the ring. The reporter's face summed up the intense situation. He looked on in sheer shock as Joshua remained in acting-mode.

They kept up their exchanges before Joshua told the reporter to leave the ring. He eventually broke character, cracked a smile and put the poor guy in a headlock.

Joshua will be hoping for a similar ruthless performance when he meets Franklin at the O2 Arena on Saturday.

He'll be looking to get back in the win column having lost his last two fights.

A win over Franklin would put his name back in the mix for a shot at the world titles, with a massive showdown against WBC title holder Tyson Fury mooted.
