Anthony Joshua’s biggest problem, who will harm his career and “no one will dare say him”

Published

on

Former world champion in cruiser’s weight, Johnny Nelson, believes that Anthony Joshua has passed the most prestigious boxing titles. Nelson pinned the decline in the former world No. 1 in the lack of a support system that would pushes him to the top performance. Just three years ago, 35-year-old Joshua was able to unite the heavyweight division before the defeat of Oleksandr Usyk.

The Olympic gold medalist seemed then returned after returning after four consecutive wins, but last year he endures the crushing defeat with a knockout in the fifth round with Daniel Dubois. Nelson, who disconnected his gloves in 2006 after a decade without failure, believes that the boxing world “saw the best” Joshua and partly assigned his world scene to “AJ” devoid of appropriate people in his camp.

“It is very complex to have people around you who will tell you how it is,” said “artist” MirrorThanks to the kindness of Newbettingsites.uk. “You will have people around you who want to stay at work, stay in this circle. So they will tell you things you want to hear.

“They won’t tell you:” You have to do it, you have to raise your hand, you get it, you get this guy here. Why do you do it? Why don’t you take it this time? Why will you open this crunchy package when you should be in the gym? “

Nelson said: “Nobody in his team will dare to say that from any belief. And so suddenly the roles have changed, while you are hungry and you need it, they want to drag you.

“Now he is a boss. They work for him. And that’s where there is a problem. And I think that with time, along with experience, along with appetite, when they get out of the kilmer [it’s over]. AJ is in this position. “

A clear tone of disappointment could be detected in AJ’s voice when he watched Dubois brutal knockout at Wembley, Wembley. Promoter Eddie Hearn informed his warrior that “he should defeat Dubois” and the former world champion said clearly: “I know.”

The perfect Joshuy record was broken when he survived another shocking defeat in June 2019, having a break in the seventh round against Andie Ruiz. While he took revenge only six months later, it was another illustration of the British’s wrong judgment.

His score losses for the UTYS cannot be considered shameful, taking into account Ukrainian triumphs since heavyweight increases. However, the same can not necessarily be argued in terms of its title IBF from Dubois, especially considering the state that he appeared during this period.

Nevertheless, it is probably significant that both shocking defeats with Ruiz and Dubois took place during periods when AJ experienced a huge momentum in his career.

The first materialized when Joshua boasted a great record of 22-0 and had WBA (Super) titles, IBF, WBO and IBO, while Dubois conquered him exactly when it seemed that he regained his dominance, stopping each of his previous three opponents.

Now he is confronted with the uncertain future, the suggested potential fight against YouTuber Jake Paul, while rumors about the meeting of Tyson Fury are eternally circulating.

Nelson compared the situation of Joshua with the former training partner of Prince Nass Hamed, who was once a global bifore.

“I was near Prince Nass, an amazing warrior. And I was around him from the very beginning of his career,” Nelson continued. “But suddenly he began to surround himself with men. He removed all the people who kept him and said how it was to keep him in reality.

“The more so, the people with whom he surrounded, the more his boxing life turned into chaos. He lost the fights that he should not have done.

“He surrounded himself by the pool at the house of Bob Hope [Marco Antonio] Barrera was in training in the mountains. And he says, “Yes, I don’t have to do it.” There was no one around him to say, “What are you doing?” It is the same with many contemporary warriors. “

Earnings for the highest level of boxers are higher today than ever, and Nelson is glad that Joshua has gathered sufficient wealth to conveniently withdraw from this sport. However, there is a question why there would be a golden boy of Great Britain, he was not fully aware of his potential, and some suggest that people from the Joshua circle can have some responsibility.

Oleksandr Usyk defended his world title in Riyad, defeating kickboxing icon Rico Verhoeven in the 11th round.

Verhoeven turned out to be a much tougher test for Usyk than many expected.

From the first bell, the Dutchman proved to be a problem, firing two tidy shots – one from above straight into the champion’s jaw, and the other a nasty shot to the body.

To the surprise of many, Verhoeven dominated most of the fight, with many viewers scoring just two or three rounds in favor of the Ukrainian.

Not only was Verhoeven in control, but he appeared to have hurt Usyk on numerous occasions, who looked nothing like the elusive champion we had become so accustomed to over the years.

Verhoeven went down in the 11th minute and went over the count before the referee led him to the corner to adjust his mouthpiece.

Ten seconds into the penultimate round, Usyk launched a brutal attack that injured Verhoeven, but he continued to fight. Nevertheless, the referee stepped in at 2:59 of the 11th round and called off the fight.

Many were outraged by the stoppage, with Derek Chisora ​​calling it a “assault” and Ryan Garcia believing the round was already over by the time the referee stepped in.

In an in-ring interview after his victory, Usyk admitted that his opponent was right.
