Anthony Joshua surprised fans by declaring he isn't participating in any "bulls***" after changing camps ahead of his comeback fight with Jermaine Franklin in April.
The Brit flew back from Texas, where he is now training under Derrick James, to participate in the launch press conference with Franklin in London today for their April 1 bout at The O2 arena. And in his first major press conference since losing to Oleksandr Usyk back in August, he made a number of bold comments, including that he is only boxing for the money.
And despite promoter Eddie Hearn insisting that the ability to live a normal life is one of the appeals for Joshua in America, he insists that his lifestyle hasn't changed much and that he has yet to go for coffee or visit a mall since moving to Texas. The two-time heavyweight champion is unable to leave the house without an entourage in the UK given his celebrity status, which is considerably less Stateside.
