Tyson Fury has not been put in such a situation inside of the ring, in some ways he has been less tested than Joshua.
Wrong.
Fury has been in many tough situations in the ring, he was dropped and getting outboxed by Cunningham, he had to switch up styles and walk him down, he was badly cut against Wallin and fought on for 12 rounds, he was nearly decapitated by Wilder, and got up and put the fight on the former champ.
He went life and death with McDermott, got badly hurt against Chisora the first time and fought back and won. He was dropped by Pajkic, and had to fight back and win.
Meh, I don't hold much weight on "quitting". Some days just aren't your day. It did definitely show that Joshua struggles when out of his comfort zone and in deep water. But plenty of exceptional fighters have done the same. Its not like even lauded guys like Tyson didn't search for a way out of fights they knew they couldn't win.
IIRC, the ref waved off the fight after AJ followed said instructions
Get the **** outta here. American refs are NOTORIOUS for letting fighters continue long after they should. He was done. It was a good call to prevent further damage.
