ANTHONY JOSHUA listed Denzel Washington and Idris Elba as the movie stars he would choose to portray him in a biopic.
Will Smith was famously the iconic Muhammad Ali in the blockbuster 2001.

In 1999, Washington played Rubin 'Hurricane Carter, a boxer who was convicted of murder and sentenced to three life sentences.
AJ was obviously impressed and said that he would love to see the American play him.
He stated that he would love Denzel Washington as his character in a movie about his life.
Joshua quickly chose Elba, a fight-fan Elba because he was aware that the accent could be a barrier.
He said, "Well actually, sorry he's American. So it would have to been Idris Elba."
Elba was last September in London when Joshua was defeated by Oleksandr Uzyk.
Now AJ is ready for a Hollywood revenge mission in a rematch against Usyk in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua still has nightmares about the box-and move tactics he used the first time. He is now preparing for war.
Sky Sports interviewed him: "I wanted outbox my opponent, regardless of whether it was Usyk, or any other, that was the mindset.
"I wanted outbox my opponent, and I wanted to smash my opponent on Saturday." This is just my mindset right now.
He said, "I was an amateur for three-and-a-half years. I did a lot during that time. I wondered how?"
"It wasn’t the skill element. I was outclassed by many of my competitors on a global stage in terms of experience and skill, but it was that aggressiveness.
"That will was something you couldn't deny. As you gain more experience, you will become a better athlete.
"But, ultimately, you can’t look at the factor that got you where you are, which is, as your words suggest, aggressiveness."
