Anthony Joshua reveals he could fight on same card as KSI as he links up with YouTuber ahead of Tommy Fury bout
ANTHONY JOSHUA admits he’s open to fighting on the same card as KSI.
That’s as the YouTube star prepares to take on Tommy Fury in Manchester this weekend.
KSI will look to settle an old score against his rival on Saturday in a crunch box office clash.
The fight will be hosted by Sky Sports and Chelsea TV presenter Olivia Buzaglo.
And there are a ton of big names on the undercard including Salt Papi and Astrid Wett.
Some boxing fans have cast doubt on the legitimacy of the Misfits event, with many of the competitors being social media and YouTube stars.
However, pro heavyweight boxer and former world champion Joshua believes it is every bit as good as the real thing.
The ace is on the hunt for a new opponent himself.
And he is preparing for an upcoming bout after linking with Tyson Fury’s former trainer Ben Davison.
AJ reckons KSI’s latest card proves that top names can indeed be attracted, with Logan Paul also facing off against Dillon Danis.

And when asked if he’d ever consider fighting on the same card as his pal KSI, Joshua left fans in little doubt.
He declared to the BBC: “Yeah, look at the card there is now. Imagine if you throw a few more names on the fight industry on the card.
“It just grows the sport and could definitely happen. Ten out of ten. I’m telling you, it’s good for boxing.
“You could fight someone that is well-known, credible, who can fight, marketable, without a championship and have that same effect early on in your career and still have all the rewards.
“They are showing that there is so much potential in boxing regardless of championships.”
