		</div><p>Anthony Joshua has dismissed suggestions he has signed a £15 million (€17.8 million) deal to step aside from his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.</p>
<p>Reports claimed the British fighter was willing to allow Ukrainian Usyk to instead fight Tyson Fury in an undisputed heavyweight bout.</p>
<p>But Joshua has emphatically quashed such talk.</p>
<p>Speaking in a video posted on Twitter by talkSPORT’s online boxing editor Michael Benson, the 32-year-old said: “You know what’s mad about all these interviews I see?</p>
<p>“I see certain interviews that quote what I said and I think to myself, ‘I haven’t done no interviews’.</p>
<p>“I’m hearing people saying: ‘AJ accepts £15 million to step aside’. I ain’t signed no contract; I ain’t seen no contract.</p>
<p>“So as it stands, stop listening to the bulls**t until it comes from me. I’m the man in control of my own destiny, I’m the man that handles my business.”</p>
<p>Joshua lost his heavyweight world titles to Usyk on points in September, before fellow Briton Fury defeated Deontay Wilder the following month to defend his WBC crown.</p>
<p>Fury’s promoters Bob Arum and Frank Warren have reportedly been pushing for Dillian Whyte – the mandatory challenger to the WBC belt – to agree terms to step aside, while also speaking to Joshua’s team.</p>
<p>“I’m a smart individual and I make calculated decisions every step of the way,” Joshua continued.</p>
<p>“Don’t listen to the bulls**t from other sources. If I tell you something then you know it’s real.”</p>
