Anthony Joshua refuses to explain why he only wears one earphone during face-offs
Joshua wore just one airpod for his press conference and face-off with former UFC champion Ngannou but he refused to state what he was listening to
www.mirror.co.ukHere’s a quick update on Anthony Joshua and headphones, based on recent coverage.
- In late May 2025, Joshua publicly addressed the mystery of what was playing in his AirPods during a high-profile event, clarifying that the earbuds were simply playing music and that there wasn’t a secret playlist or conspiracy. This helped settle discussions that had circulated for months about his audio choice at press events.[1]
- Earlier reports from January 2024 noted Joshua often wore a single AirPod at face-offs and press conferences, but those pieces focused on his refusal to reveal the exact audio content at the time, rather than any new headphones feature or product collaboration.[2]
- There have been various related mentions of headphones and audio gear in Joshua’s public appearances, but the most definitive recent confirmation centers on his statement that he listens to music through the AirPod, not a hidden or elaborate soundtrack.[1]
