The promoter Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua’s next battle in November or December will reveal how much he has physically left in his career. Hearn expects former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua (28-4, 25 COs) to fight someone ‘Dangerous’ in the top 15.
AJ’s skills: power, still boxing
Joshua’s boxing skills are still as good as ever, and his power is extremely important. He certainly has the ability to keep fighting in his forties, provided he Klitschko-esque-style That he used to defeat Andy Ruiz in their re -broadcast in 2019.
For the battle, Joshua renovated his fighting style, hacked, held and moved to avoid the combination of Ruiz. It worked well with Anthony who won a wide 12-round decision.
AJ (35) comes from a brutal fifth round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September in London. The way Joshua was beaten in that fight raises questions about his ability to take a hard punch without striking.
“If he doesn’t look good in the training camp, if the sparring doesn’t look good, if we go into battle in November. Let’s put it that way. If he went into a fight in November or December, and didn’t look good at all and didn’t haunt well, I would even tell him before the Fury battle, ‘maybe we don’t have to,’ ‘Eddie Hearn said. ifl tv About Anthony Joshua.
Deontay Wilder is mentioned as a potential opponent for Joshua as Tyson Fury does not come out of pension. The use of former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder would be a good option for Joshua to build trust. For this battle he will have to box it and not take it out if he wants to avoid being knocked out by ‘the bronze bomber’. It would be a good fight for AJ to return to the Klitschko style.
Next battle: Dangerous opponent selected
“You will find out very quickly what he has in November or December, because he is going to fight someone who is dangerous, because there is no one who is dangerous in the top -15,” says Hearn.
Anthony fans still believe he is the same vintage version of himself that became pro in 2013. They blame his loss of Dubois on his coach, Ben Davis, saying he should roll the dice in the fifth round. It was a crazy advice because Joshua approved Daniel well, used his clap and looked like he was on his way to victory.
