Joe Joyce slams ‘petty' Anthony Joshua after ‘biased' sparring video leaked

Joe Joyce has responded to rumours that Anthony Joshua has leaked unfavourable sparring footage which shows AJ getting the better of The Juggernaut.

Joyce had previously come out and made suggestions that the footage was edited to make Joshua look good and that they were drilling certain techniques during the session. But, in a recent interview on the matter, he ridiculed his former Team GB stablemate telling iFL that "he hasn't looked that good for a while".

"It was a very biased sparring video of him looking good," said Joyce.

"He hasn't looked that good for a while. There's a lot of footage over the years - four or five years plus of sparring footage. There's him leading up to the Olympics, there's post-Olympics when he's turned pro and I'm leading up to my Olympics in Rio and depending on what stage of the camp we're in, sometimes I'm punching him up, sometimes he's punching me up but it's equal sparring, 50-50 sparring, people would pay to watch."

The pair went back and forth on Twitter a few months ago after Joyce offered to fight Joshua while Oleksandr Usyk was defending Ukraine against Russian invasions. But AJ shut down the offer referencing his first-round stoppage of Joyce in the amateurs.

He tweeted: "I boxed joe and stopped him in 1 round. I'd do the same thing today! Ain't nothing changed."

To which Joyce responded: "And @anthonyjoshua you having a meltdown, where's all your belts? All those sponsorships and endorsements helping? You're a glass cannon, quit the act, you were given everything."
