Comments Thread For: Hearn Says Joshua Return 'Targeted' for April 1 in London, Will Train in US

[mjh1969]

I don't care how many trainers Joshua has, no one can give him a new set of balls. Someone should tell him that he is in the fight game and that he will get hit and hit hard on occasion. At the start of each training session, his trainer should have his sparring partner come and beat on him for 30 seconds to get that fear of getting hit out of him. Once he eliminates that fear then he will be ok. Until then no trainer can help him.

Not sure if it's the best idea to stage AJ's grand return on April Fool's Day.

AJ and Hearn should take note of Marvelous Marvin Hagler’s training style, and be less concerned about comfort. Hearn exposes his ignorance about boxing when he makes comments about his boxer being in a Footlocker outside the hard confines of a serious training camp.

for a reason .... needs get addressed

There's obviously a lot of people in the US not getting the help they need though.

I think that the best trainer for Joshua would be Sugar Hill. Look at what he did for Fury , taught him to use his size and strength to impose his will in a fight. Of course , he's not going to train Joshua and Fury. Joshua needs someone like that though.

Is Canelo exclusive to Hearn now and PBC not making any counter offers for Alvarez?

[PBR Streetgang]

Sounds like they really want to give AJ a victory to build his confidence McKean has the nice unblemished record but his best win is probably Johnny Rice, after that it gets pretty thin.

The Whyte fight should generate some money without that much of a risk.

The Wilder fight (if they can make it happen) would also generate some money; should AJ lose it's not a bad cash out. If AJ wins it probably catapults him to a big money showdown with Fury (regardless of Fury beats Usyk or not at that point).

April '1st do really think fight anybody good? it's April fools

[Respect The Pugilists]

I believe AJ has chosen between:
Derrick James
Roy Jones Jr
Stephen "Breadman"
Buddy McGirt is another good choice.
of course I could be wrong.
He most definitely needs improve, rebuild his confidence and self-esteem.

Moving his training to the US is a very good move and not a day too soon. I just hope it's not Virgil Hunter or Roy Jones he's chosen, all the other options seem good.
