talkSPORT Boxing<\/a>. \u201cIf he wants to pull the plug, I\u2019ll be right there tugging that plug with him.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cGetting this fight over to the U.K. is something that we fought for,\u201d Joshua added. \u201cI went through this situation where there\u2019s contract negotiations and things where higher powers are upset with me and sending me personal messages. I\u2019m a G, if you want to go to war, but it\u2019s like, corporate level of messages where people aren\u2019t happy. I just want them to know that I fought for the British boxing and I wanted to bring some respect over to this side of the pond because I said that when I first fought for the world title, they wanted me to go to America.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI took less money and I paid the champion more money to bring it to the United Kingdom, and I\u2019ve said it in interviews before that I think that people should put more respect upon British fighters because we are fighters that need respect or fighters to be reckoned with, so that\u2019s all I can ask for,\u201d Joshua said. \u201cJust remember me as someone who fought for British boxing and tried to bring the respect back here. That\u2019s it, no more. I don\u2019t want nothing more, I don\u2019t expect nothing more, and I\u2019m happy with that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Happy enough to pass on $100 million? That remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"That\u2019s life-changing money for average schmucks like you and I, but \u201cAJ\u201d is prepared to leave it all…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":916801,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,36109,49,48,33601,82,702],"class_list":["post-916800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news-results","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-sports","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=916800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916800\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/916801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=916800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=916800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=916800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
