    What is that you say? 'Anthony Joshua doesn't lose'.

    Not only did he lose to Dillian Whyte in 2009, the grainy footage shows he was also knocked down. It was the last time AJ lost as he went on to become Olympic champion in 2012 before blitzing to 14 professional wins.

    Whyte: "I wasn't scared of a skinny bodybuilder."

    Joshua:"Dillian took me three rounds and then I went on to achieve what I achieved."

    Whyte: "I'm not jealous, I'm providing for my children, giving them a better future than I had. He's a fake. When you're with him and he's around cameras, he's a certain way."

  2. Two men, no beer, one rivalrypublished at 20:37 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2015

    Arriving in Anthony Joshua's path of destruction is Dillian Whyte. 

    "Who?" I hear you say.

    A six-foot-four-inch juggernaut - who Joshua has called "fat" - Whyte beat his rival tonight (in an amateur match staged above a pub no less) six years ago.

    Joshua - a six-foot-six-inch wrecking ball - has not taken kindly to being reminded of this. He has to stare at the face which beat him for 12 rounds tonight. Still, at least he gets to punch it and, on this occasion, the smell of stained beer mats shouldn't be too overwhelming.

    'Look to the future,' they say. 'Build a legacy.' 

    And then, the past arrives at your door. It's a nightmare you tried to banish from your memory. It's a nightmare which wants to upset you again, steal your dreams and run off with them into a golden, glamorous future.
