Joshua rush carl8/4/2023 ![]() ![]() He looked too old, too, and too drained from his recent weight loss. Pulev should have been able to take advantage of Joshua fading, but he couldn’t do it. AJ also gassed against Andy Ruiz Jr in their first fight in 2019, and he took advantage of it by knocking him out. Joshua gassed out in both of those contests and needed four to five rounds to get his second wind. This is the same thing that we saw from Joshua in his fights against Dillian Whyte and Wladimir Klitschko. There no improvement at all in Joshua’s stamina from his fights in the past, and it was troubling that it took him five rounds for him to recover from gassing out in the third. Those are the type that takes you out,” said Nelson. ![]() The uppercuts and the shots you don’t see coming. ![]() He boxed and bashed, and that’s what he needed to do, and that’s what they were working on and footwork as well. “That’s when he felt settled he was sharper his movement was better. NEWS: Dillian Whyte complaining about rematch clause in Joshua contract He got his second wind around seven, and that’s when he got through with that. “Usually, in a fight in round five or six, you get tired, and you get your second wind. In the third round, when he put the pressure on, that gassed him for two rounds. “At times, you could tell he wasn’t comfortable with it, but he stuck with it. He was trying to box,” said Johnny Nelson about Joshua. “What he was trying to do was implement what he was doing in the gym. Joshua got his second wind in the seventh That’s what we might see Joshua do because he wants the Fury fight to be for the undisputed heavyweight championship. Joshua doesn’t want to vacate his WBO title, and he knows he’s got a winnable fight against WBO mandatory Oleksandr Usyk that he could take before facing Fury. If Joshua doesn’t feel motivated to make that fight happen right now, he’ll let it marinate for a little while longer. It might not matter how much Hearn and the boxing public wants to see Joshua face Fury. ‘Tomorrow morning, we’re making that fight,” said Froch. “Is Tyson Fury in his head and on his mind? Eddie Hearn said that’s the fight. I think he knows now to get the respect of the people, which he has anyway, but there are still question marks. They want to see the Tyson Fury fight, and Anthony Joshua knows he’s got Oleksandr Usyk for the WBO mandatory. “When the crowd has spoken and the boxing fans that follow Anthony Joshua. It’s almost like ancient Rome in the Coliseum. “It’s kind of the only fight that the crowd is going to accept. NEWS: Whyte must take Joshua fight, he won't get Wilder says Spencer Oliver I think the only guy out there right now for him is Tyson Fury.

Froch: Fury is the only fight fans will accept for AJ It won’t be a problem if Joshua does face Fury next, but it didn’t look good that he couldn’t answer a simple question put to him when he was asked if he’ll fight Fur next. It’s a classic move that Joshua made in leaving it to Hearn to explain who he’s facing next. With Joshua having Hearn be the guy that is the one that is explaining what his next move, it potentially sets up a situation where he’ll be the one that will take the blame if AJ doesn’t fight Fury next. It looked like a weak cop-out on Joshua’s part by putting the responsibility on Hearn’s shoulders for him to explain what his next move will be. When the question was put to Joshua by interviewer Gareth Davies if he’d like to face WBC champion Fury (30-1-1, 21 KOs) next for the undisputed heavyweight championship, Joshua responded by saying that his promoter Eddie Hearn would need to answer the question. Like many boxing fans, Froch doesn’t understand why IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) didn’t make it clear immediately after his win over Kubrat Pulev last Saturday that he wants Fury next. ![]()
