ANTHONY JOSHUA fears no opponent and would even line up king kong for a fight.
The WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion takes on Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk in a blockbuster battle tomorrow night.
Usyk is coming to rip up the script and hand Joshua just his second defeat as a professional.
It is the biggest test of Joshua’s credentials as ruler of the heavyweight division, even if he will tower over the challenger.
But he insists there is no fear heading into the crunch clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
“I love throwback fighters,” said the Watford warrior. “I watch a lot of boxing. I’m not an easy fight for anyone. I love fighting.
“The last place I would want to be is facing myself. I don’t fight good fights to get people to respect me but if you tell me to fight King Kong, I’d give it a go.
