Here is that clip from Whyte vs Joshua:
In an interview via The Daily Mail, Joshua said that he analyses the amateur fight on a regular basis, saying: 'The fight was six years ago and I still watch it back. I last watched it three of four months ago.
'It's not on my to-do list in the preparation this time around but it's probably something I might just see and laugh at, that's all. When I watch it I just think, "What was I doing here, what was I doing there?"

'If I would have known that what I did then would have had such a big impact now, I wish I would have done something different. But it's all irrelevant because we are here now and I am who I am now, I'm not who I was then.'
'I've got the chance to correct my wrongs.' Joshua said.

As we all know, Joshua corrected those 'wrongs' only a month after the interview.

On the 12th December 2015, Joshua and Whyte faced off against each other in an explosive British heavyweight title bout in a meeting pitting old amateur rivals.
It was the first fight Joshua went past 3-rounds. The Olympic champion started fast tagging Whyte repeatedly but a combination just after the bell prompted an angry response from Whyte as chaos ensued between both sets of entourages.
Once normality was restored, Joshua was tested, before unleashing a vicious uppercut in the seventh sending the Brixton-boxer crumbling to the canvas.
