And when asked about his dream date by Woods, AJ produced a playful answer.

He said: “You,” which queued laughter from AJ, people behind the camera and a cheer from Woods.

Woods then said with a smile: “This is perfect.”

AJ then quipped: “I know [Ruben] Loftus-Cheek’s beat me to it.”

Last week, Loftus-Cheek also called Woods his celebrity crush.

To which Woods replied: “Sorry. No it’s fine, there’s no competition.”

Chelsea star Loftus-Cheek appeared on talkSPORT last week and revealed his celebrity crush was Woods.

She joked afterwards that she would get his number later.

However, Joshua then asked whether Woods was in a relationship.

And in response, Woods said: “I’m not in a relationship. Are you?”

“No I’m not,” AJ replied.

Woods explained she was too focused on work, with AJ revealing a similar mentality where he wanted to ensure he was not distracted in training and fighting.

The 33-year-old’s next fight is set to be in the summer, with Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder among those lined up for a summer showdown.
