No one would ever pass up the chance to compete under the lights against “The Gypsy King,” who proved after his recent bout with Derek Chisora why he is among the greatest of this generation. With a staggering 33-0-1 record, he would be anyone’s perfect opponent.

However, this is not the case for Joshua. In a recent interview with GQ sat down for Actually Me, to answer the internet’s most asked question. During this, he was pressed with a lot of questions, one of which was who he would want to fight—Fury or Whyte, forgetting belts—he responded with Whyte’s name and explained his decision.

In his words, “If I’m going to erase my memory, imagine Men in Black, they come with that torch *phoom*. It has to be Dillian Whyte, South London, North London. Fury is good, but he’s a Manchester boy. I think Dillian, he has more swag in general, but he’s come up short a few times.”
