The legend also disclosed the name of his favorite movie.

Anthony Joshua, a two-time heavyweight world champion, has had some difficult fights, but none of them have prepared him for the questioning he received from a single nine-year-old fan.

The legendary athlete consented to be interviewed by Josie Bell for The Week Junior, a children’s current affairs publication.

Josie Bell conducted an interview with Anthony Joshua for The Week Junior, a children’s current affairs publication.

AJ confessed he would have loved to be a bricklayer or an accountant if he wasn’t a boxer.

When Anthony and the 34-year-old faced off for the on-camera conversation at the Finchley Boxing Club in North London, where Anthony used to train as an amateur, the young reporter Josie, above, questioned the man on a variety of subjects.

The boxing star, who defeated Francis Ngannou in just two rounds last month, revealed that if he hadn’t been a fighter, he would have preferred to work as an accountant or a bricklayer.

And he disclosed that, not unexpectedly, Rocky is his favorite movie.

“I’m not afraid.”

But he said that he had never seen the Barbie smash starring Margot Robbie.

The dad to son JJ, eight, said: “There’s two jobs I like. One would be a bricklayer, because I like building and would always like to make my house bigger. I think everyone wants a bigger house.

My favourite film is Rocky. It’s about a guy who has potential. But he has to become his own hero.

“I’d probably like to be an accountant. Do you know an accountant is someone who counts everyone’s money? So I’m in control of the piggy bank.”

He added: “I haven’t actually seen the Barbie film or the Wonka film.

“My favourite film is Rocky. It’s about a guy who has potential. But he has to become his own hero. It’s a really good story about a guy who becomes a famous boxer.”

Armed with a notebook and pen, Josie, from Kenley, Surrey, also asked: “What’s your biggest fear?”

Anthony boldly replied: “I don’t have a biggest fear as I have a very positive mind and everything’s fun. Every day is a blessing. So I have no fear.”

The boxer also explained that his favourite subject at school was PE. And he offered some tips on how to handle playground bullies.

He said: “If I saw someone getting bullied, I would try and protect them because I don’t think getting bullied is nice. I don’t like bullies.

“The best thing you can do is go and find your teacher to let them make sure that they take care of the student.

“So I’d try and make sure that they’re protected first. And then I’d try and find a teacher as soon as possible.”

Award-winning The Week Junior, aimed at children aged eight to 14, will feature the boxing champ as its cover star in its latest issue, out tomorrow.

“I hope he takes my advice and goes to see the Barbie movie.”

After his interview, Anthony told The Sun: “I knew Josie was going to ask me some seriously tough questions, but I was prepared.

“Move over Piers Morgan, there is a new kid on the block.

“I really enjoyed hearing from the kids at The Week Junior.”

Delighted Josie said of her big assignment: “Anthony was super kind. He answered all my questions.

“I was a bit nervous but he helped me loads.

“I want to interview more mas- sive stars.”

She added: “I hope he takes my advice and goes to see the Barbie movie.”

The ring legend also revealed his favourite film is Rocky.
