Anthony Joshua refuses to answer question in fiery interview and tells interviewer to 'turn the camera off'

Anthony Joshua was not happy about a question he was asked in an interview and even suggested that iFL TV host Kugan Cassius turned the camera off.

Joshua, 35, is a two-time world heavyweight champion but has not fought since he sustained a conclusive knockout defeat against fellow Brit Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in September 2024.

Dubois is set to take on Oleksandr Usyk at the same venue on July 19 in a bid to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and avenge his 2023 defeat against Usyk.

And given Joshua’s status in the heavyweight division and the fact he has fought both men, iFL TV host Kugan Cassius asked Joshua about the bout, but his response was far from what he may have expected from the usually composed 35-year-old.

“I've got a few thoughts on it, but I feel like I don't want to talk on it too much because it's not my fight, it's their fight - I don't want to promote their fight,” Joshua said.

“I don't want to talk about it. I'll be honest with you, I don't want to talk about it.”

Cassius then pushed the Watford boxer on why he didn’t want to discuss the upcoming heavyweight showdown.

“Why you asking me for?” asked an annoyed Joshua. “Turn the camera off and ask me about it.

“You're asking me about it in front of the bright lights, and put it out in front of the media to promote your channel and their fight. I'm not doing it.”

“It's not my interest,” he added. “But it will be a good fight, and good luck to both of them.”

Joshua has recently revealed that he will undergo surgery on his elbow later in May, which will likely delay his return to the ring.

"I'm trying to get my body right," he told DAZN. "I have got to actually have a little surgery on my elbow."

"A small surgery sometime in May - I'm finalising the details," he continued. "That will see me out of the gym for maybe six to eight weeks, and then when I'm healed, I will be back."
