Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua wants to set up a boxing match between journalists Louis Theroux and Piers Morgan.<\/p>\n

Joshua knocked out Robert Helenius in August in his most recent bout in his journey to regain the heavyweight belts he lost to Oleksandr Usyk. But the 34-year-old may be about to take a leaf out of his promoter Eddie Hearn\u2019s book.<\/p>\n

AJ seemingly fancies himself as a promoter after a clip from Joshua\u2019s interview with Theroux has surfaced where the former heavyweight champion suggested he could set the 53-year-old up with a boxing fight that could be dubbed \u2018Battle of the Broadcasters\u2019.<\/p>\n

Joshua shadow boxed at Theroux before replying he would take the reporter in a fight after Theroux threw the challenge at him. But AJ suggested that he could organise a fight for Theroux, saying: \u201cI could actually get you a fight and it will do well. Because you will bring viewers to my broadcasting platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

A shout from behind the camera came that Theroux should take on Morgan in the ring, something that both men thought was an intriguing idea. Theroux was confident on making the bout happen, claiming he \u2018could take him\u2019, he said: \u201cPiers Morgan, that\u2019s a better matchup. Number one, he\u2019s very famous and I think I could take him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joshua burst into laughter after Theroux\u2019s fighting talk, but it\u2019s not the first time that a possible face-off has been touted. The Singapore-born personality recently spoke at a Q&A about the show where he addressed the Morgan bout talk. <\/p>\n

He said: "He's quite big though, isn't he? It would be stressful having a fight with Piers Morgan. The stressful part is he might even do it. "If I take that seriously, if it was three rounds, no, I don't want to have an actual fight with Piers Morgan. But I will do it if I have to. And that's a promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This could therefore leave the ball in Morgan\u2019s court who may want to come to the table after Theroux questioned whether the 58-year-old\u2019s size could give him an advantage. \u201cPiers is quite big. Sometimes those heavier people who look like they don\u2019t keep themselves trim\u2026 it can be misleading,\u201d Theroux said.<\/p>\n

The help of Joshua to push both camps could be all we need to set up a \u2018Battle of the Broadcasters\u2019, although the pair may have to find their own boxing card as we can\u2019t imagine seeing those two fight alongside Astrid Wett and Elle Brooke on a Misfits card.<\/p>\n
