Joshua Fires Back, But Admits Fight Is Likely Next
AJ shot back: “Tyson, you are a clout chaser. I’ve never had a problem getting in the ring with you. I punched you when we were kids. After watching you tonight, I’d do it again. I’ll see you in that ring in due time. You won’t tell me what to do. When you’re ready, you tell me your conditions, and I’ll tell you when I’m ready. I’m the landlord, remember that, you work for me.”
Joshua later hinted that the fight could be just around the corner. “I’ll be honest, the negotiations you go through, I’ve sat in there many times, there’s no problem, it’s what I do. I’m not here for clout, I’m here to fight. Contracts will be sent over, but you’ll probably see us in the ring next, more than likely,” he admitted.
