Boxer dressed as Spiderman makes bold claim about Anthony Joshua's manhood
British boxer Brandon Scott delivered a bizarre speech ahead of his return to the ring as he compared his manhood to Anthony Joshua's.
Scot will feature on the undercard of Joshua's clash against Robert Helenius who has stepped in at the last minute to replace Dillian Whyte who failed as drugs test. And 19-year-old Scott, who dressed up as Spiderman for the pre-fight press conference on Wednesday, stole the show somewhat when asked to address the media.
"You know s***'s hit the fan when Spider-Man's been called to save the day," he said. "Look, I know what everyone here's thinking, I'm thinking the exact same thing... 'what is he doing here?' The only thing I can put it down to is obviously there was all that trouble with the positive tests and Ed [Hearn]'s gone, 'Right, who can I get on the show that's definitely clean?'
"He's looked at the list of his boxers, seen my name and gone, 'Right, if there's anyone that's not on something, it's that scrawny nerd.' But look, I could never turn an opportunity like this down. I mean Anthony Joshua is my biggest inspiration in boxing. I actually see a lot of myself in Anthony Joshua. Well, besides the muscles, the money, the penis size. He can't help that, I'm just genetically gifted."
Joshua, meanwhile, admitted a sense of responsibility to not let people down was a driving factor behind him accepting a last-minute opponent change. Joshua went head-to-head with Helenius for the first time after the 6ft 9 heavyweight was confirmed as Whyte’s replacement.

Joshua discovered news of Whyte’s failed test on Saturday morning but was eager to keep the show on the road and will now face an opponent who fought in Finland last weekend. “Yes so I also looked at the undercard as well and I know how much it means for them to compete,” the former two-time world heavyweight champion said.

I didn’t want to let anyone down, my coach, DAZN, so it is kind of like a responsibility. “Late replacements are not ideal but it is the third time it has happened. We had it with Kubrat Pulev and (Carlos) Takam, Jarrell Miller and Andy Ruiz Jr so this is what happens.
“A long career will present these type of obstacles and I just have to get used to them. Yeah, this is another rock on my shoe towards the top of the mountain. Helenius fought on Saturday, he is doing the right thing. As a fighter, you have to stay busy, you have to stay active and keep expressing your skill because that is the only way to improve.
“Obviously I haven’t been fighting, I fought at the start of April (against Jermaine Franklin) but I spent a lot of time in the ring. In Dallas we do a lot of ring work and that’s the closest thing to a fight. It is not just hitting the bags, shadow boxing, we do a lot of combat training so I am physically ready.”
