Recently, ‘AJ’, who was in a chat with iFL TV, revealed that trainers called him and asked for millions to train him for the Usyk rematch. However, in this interview, Joshua seemed to hint that he would not rush to make a decision.

He said, “I’m not an idiot with my money, you know. I’m not a fool with my money and stuff like that, so it’s not about the money. It’s not about the hype or nothing like that, it’s not about anything. I just want to go out there and just learn, put my name on the map, just continue to dominate boxing.”
