Anthony Joshua names three things he admires about Dillian Whyte

Anthony Joshua has admitted he has respect for bitter rival Dillian Whyte. Joshua met Whyte in a grudge match for the vacant British heavyweight title on 12 December 2015, whilst also defending his Commonwealth heavyweight title for the first time. Joshua won the fight after initially shaking Whyte with a right hook to the temple and eventually finishing with a devastating uppercut for the knockout in the seventh round. AJ takes on Andy Ruiz JR in his next fight in New York on June 1. He was scheduled to fight Jarrell Miller but the American failed a drug test. Joshua bids to claim the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles. "It was hard because that was an emotional fight, that wasn't even about boxing," he told JD Sport. "He spoke reckless, that was a fight for London, south and north. I'd been knocking everyone out so you assume you're going to come in and boom, Dillian is on the floor. "Some fighters are a different kettle of fish, some of them have a bit of heart. Yes, he has improved. You've gotta respect he's consistent. The thing I like about Dillian is you don't really see him out clubbing, you don't really see him out partying." When asked how he'd deal with a rematch he said: "Same way. Who's got the bigger heart?"
