‘I’ll fight whoever’ – Anthony Joshua open to Joseph Parker rematch if Oleksandr Usyk delays bout amid Russia invasion

ANTHONY JOSHUA is open for a rematch with Joseph Parker if Oleksandr Usyk's second fight is postponed.

AJ was defeated and dethroned by Usyk at Tottenham in September.

He invoked his right for an immediate rematch. Eddie Hearn had planned to schedule it for May or June.

This is now in doubt after Russia invaded Ukraine. Usyk bravely took up arms to defend his country.

Joshua chose to be respectful of the two-weight champion, and not comment on who they will fight next.

The Londoner said he would fight Usyk in the interim if Usyk was not occupied with other more serious matters.

Joshua said to Behind The Gloves, "Me personally?" I will fight any problem. I will fight any problem, no matter what."

Parker, a New Zealander, was defeated by AJ in 2018. He has already offered to replace Usyk (35).

Joshua, 32, stated that he would smoke him too. Don't matter.

"But listen, I'll fight Joseph Parker. What is it? It's a fight at end of the day. What do you want me do?

"I don’t give a damn ***, I’ll fight whoever, whenever it’s just a fight. Are you able to understand what I am trying to convey? "So yeah, I'll fight 100 percent."

It was revealed that AJ had been considering changing his coaching staff after the defeat to Usyk.

He has also confirmed that Angel Fernandez, his former assistant trainer, will now be his'main cornerman'.

Joshua stated, "I'm currently working with Angel Fernandez. He's in London, and has been with me for the past three years.

"He was at the last three world championship fights."
