The promoter Eddie Hearn was furious on Saturday after being told that a critic said Anthony Joshua is not credible to fight for a heavyweight world title, next after his last disastrous performance.
Rules for Joshua
Hearn pointed out that Joshua (28-5, 24 COs) the “Biggest commercial draw” In the section, which means he can fight who he wants. If he wants to fight next for a world title, he can.
In other words, Joshua is not subject to the usual rules that apply to other fighters. He can do what he wants, because he is a former two -time heavyweight champion. It is always nice to hear that some fighters receive special treatment and that they do not judge.
It would mean more if Joshua hit fighters at high -level fighters to capture his two world titles, but that didn’t happen. AJ has beaten some average, everyday heavyweights at the everyday level to become a two -time heavyweight champion.
How Joshua became a two -time heavyweight champion:
- Andy Ruiz Jr.: AJ recaptures his three titles against the 283-pound Ruiz
- Charles Martin
I say Royal Road
‘The way the world works is if you are the biggest name in the heavyweight division active, which Anthony Joshua is now, the biggest commercial draw now that Tyson Fury has retired. He can fight whom he wants at any time, ‘said promoter Eddie Hearn Ring magazineRespond to the fact that a critic said that 35-year-old Anthony Joshua is not credible to fight for a world title after his recent knockout loss in the fifth round in his last fight against Daniel Dubois on September 21.
“Jake Paul is not credible to fight Canelo Alvarez, but they have signed the contract. AJ is a two -time heavyweight champion and he is still the biggest name in the division. So, he can fight whoever he wants, but I don’t think he will fight for the world’s heavyweight championship.
It would be stupid for Joshua to fight for a world title against the current champions, because he stands no chance against them. WBA, WBC, and the WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Ut have had AJ twice on the schools.
After the second loss, Joshua looked insaneAnd utility’s belts jerked and thrown out of the ring. AJ’s ridge in the ring was difficult to listen to, because he made no sense and sounded like he had blew a gasket. It would be useless for Joshua to fight Utilek or Dubois now.
If Hearn wanted Joshua to fight for a heavyweight world title, the WBA ‘ordinary’ champion Kubrat Pulev would be a nice, safe choice. The 43-year-old Pulev recently caught WBA secondary belt with a win over Mahmoud Charr, and he would jump on the chance to fight AJ again.
