The new world heavyweight champion IBF, IBO and WBA Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) almost got into a fight with Vladimir Klitschko's older brother (64-5, 53 KOs) Vitali.

"Joshua was very tired, he went to Vladimir and talked about the fight, while Vitaly stood by and said:" Well, good, "says Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn.

According to him, Klitschko the elder then pushed Joshua away, and the Briton, in obscene language, told the opponent how far he should go.

Recall, April 29 in London, a duel took place in which Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) knocked out Vladimir Klitschko (64-5, 53 KOs) in the eleventh round.



In the middle of the fight, the Briton experienced a heavy knockdown, but eventually managed to return to the fight and win. It is worth noting that at stake were the belts of the world champion in the versions of WBA, IBF and IBO.

Immediately after the fight, the champion said he was ready to give the veteran a rematch, but Vladimir has not yet made statements on this matter.

Earlier it was reported that the rematch of Joshua and Klitschko could take place in China.
