ANTHONY JOSHUA has claimed he would defeat Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in a boxing clash AND a wrestling match.

Anthony Joshua joked he could beat Dwayne Johnson in boxing and wrestling

‘The Rock’ has not fought in WWE since 2019

Ahead of the fight he sat down for a Q&A with two kids for DAZN.

He was asked a range of questions, revealing the celebrity he would most like to date is Beyonce, and suggested he would likely work in construction if he did not take up boxing.

Next he was asked who would win if he face off against the Rock, in both boxing and wrestling.

AJ smiled cheekily and replied: “100 per cent me.

“You’ve got to have belief in yourself.”

He was once the dominant force in the sport before quitting in 2004 to focus on his acting career.

Johnson topped the highest-paid actors list in 2016, 2019 and 2020 and decided to officially retire from wrestling in 2019 after making a return in 2014.

Last year he featured in films such as Black Adam and DC League of Super-Pets, and he stars in Red One which is due for release later this year, which may mean his fighting career is over.
