Anthony Joshua has ruled out following Tyson Fury into the WWE world. Last month, lineal heavyweight champion Fury entered the wrestling world, making his WWE debut against Braun Strowman in


Saudi Arabia. After arriving in The Kingdom ahead of his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr, the prospect of entering the WWE universe was put to Joshua. The former unified heavyweight champion


emphatically dismissed talk of him ever setting foot inside the wrestling ring and couldn’t help but take a swipe at Fury for doing so. “No. We were talking about it, Joshua said. “When you


go to Saudi, we go to Saudi for our respective crafts. “Other people go to Saudi for a pantomime. I’m dedicated to the craft and people know that. “They know they can't call me up to


come and do wrestling. They call me up to do boxing and that's all I want, my respect in boxing. “It's hard to get respect in boxing, especially as a UK fighter. We don't get


the respect we deserve.” Joshua’s eagerly-anticipated rematch with Ruiz Jr will take place a week on Saturday. The 30-year-old will be out to exact revenge on Mexico’s first heavyweight


champion, who handed him his first professional defeat in June. ‘AJ’ is determined to reclaim the WBA (Super), IBF and IBO titles and has promised his second meeting with ‘The Destroyer’


will provide even more fireworks. He said: “It’s going to be an incredible night and I’m thrilled so many of my fans are going to be there, particularly from the UK. It’ll definitely be a


night people will tell their grandchildren they were at, one of those iconic evenings of boxing.”
