‘I could tear it right up’
Tear him apart verbally, of course. Although…
Anyway, here’s what Anthony Joshua had to say after tonight’s fight.
Speaking to DAZN, AJ said: “I can’t rate my performance. Ben Davison, my performance team, I’ll leave that to them.
“Tonight was just another fight. I respect Otto. Not so much a comeback fight, just another day at the office. Win either way. As Otto, you want to do whatever it takes to be a winner. That’s all I want to be.”
Asked about Wilder’s loss, he added: “I didn’t watch. I just focused on me. I know how much it meant to me. I heard Deontay lost. So what? He’ll be back. Deontay, everything he said about me , I could tear it up now, but I’ll go to a higher place.”
‘It was fresh and sharp’

What’s next?
Always the same with boxing. The sweat of the fighters continues to flow, and we look to see who is next.
Deontay Wilder was obviously the plan in March, but his loss to Joseph Parker earlier tonight may have killed him. In my opinion, Wilder sounded like he was thinking about retirement.
It certainly won’t be Jarrell Miller. Daniel Dubois? Zhilei Zhang? Or the winner of the undisputed match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk?
A good combination
Much credit must go to coach Ben Davison. The pair teamed up for the first time for this contest and it’s no coincidence that we saw the best version of the former heavyweight champion.
It’s obviously worth it. It should be continued.
