# Frank Warren “Feels Sorry” For Anthony Joshua

Legendary British boxing promoter Frank Warren reckons Anthony Joshua is ‘fed up’ with his promoter Eddie Hearn’s ‘b\*\*\*\*\*\*t.’

News emerged this week that former two-time and unified world champion [Joshua has paid to seclude himself away in a dark room.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/anthony-joshua-2000-dark-room-31245106) It comes as talks continue between him and fellow former champion Deontay Wilder as to if and when the pair might finally meet in the ring.

Neither man has had a big year, with Wilder not fighting at all since he knocked out Robert Helenius in one round in October 2022, while Joshua bested the same man with an 8th-round knockout in August having gone the distance with Jermaine Franklin back in April.

Speaking to [IFL TV,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDqWlG9E2js&t=321s) Warren was asked about Joshua and Fury.

> “He was offered twice to be the main event with Tyson but it didn’t happen. I’m fed up talking about it.”

Warren then expressed pity for Joshua and took a dig at Hearn.

> “I feel sorry for the guy.
>
> For four days he’s had to be in a dark room, or wherever he’s gone. Do you know why that is? He’s probably fed up of listening to the b\*\*\*\*\*\*t from his promoter.”

Top Rank chief Bob Arum then added further scorn.

> “Nobody in the United States knows Joshua because the only time he fought in the United States, Andy Ruiz knocked him out.”

[It’s fair to say Warren’s man Fury is riding high right now with a high-profile event with Francis Ngannou this weekend](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/tyson-fury-shows-body-transformation/) then a huge undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk after that.
