Anthony Joshua Told ‘Be Careful What You Say’ By Feared Heavyweight: “I’ll Knock You Out Cold”
Anthony Joshua has been warned about who he calls out for future fights and has been told he will be “knocked out.”
Joshua is currently recovering from a few small injuries having been knocked out in the fifth round by Daniel Dubois back in September.
That was his latest shot at becoming a world champion having lost all his belts to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 over 12 hard fought rounds, then failing to win them back in the rematch the following year over another hard 12-round contest with the Ukrainian great.

Rather than taking a rematch with Dubois, it is believed that Joshua instead waited around to see how the Uysk versus Tyson Fury fight went with a view to a huge contest with The Gypsy King.
In the meantime, he has backed Efe Ajagba to beat well-ranked contender Martin Bakole when they potentially meet in a world title eliminator.
“‘AJ’ before he accepted the Daniel Dubois fight, I called him out. Himself, he came and said we could fight in Africa but now I’m disappointed he got knocked out twice by someone I knocked out in the gym.
“Imagine if it was me, I would knock him out cold in the first round. Now he’s talking b****shit. I’m taking it serious this fight. I was looking for ‘AJ’ and now he’s saying Ajagba is going to beat me, I don’t know, disgrace. Be careful. I want him next.”
Bakole, who was branded ‘the most avoided fighter’ by his promoter, is on a good run that saw him stop hotly rated American prospect Jared Anderson last time out having beaten Carlos Takam before that.
