“He’s an Irishman and I’m a black man that can fight. That’s all it is really.”

Newly-minted IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has revealed he is a huge fan of Conor McGregor, claiming their shared fighting background makes the two peas in a pod.

The British fighter said in an interview with Heavyw8 News that he likes McGregor’s oft-divisive attitude, and in fact wishes he had taken the Irishman’s nickname first.

“The Notorious, I wish I took that name. I like it, I like everything about Conor McGregor.”
