Been injured a few times now.

Shame, was looking forward to this.

NOOOOOO!

This was going to be a good test of Joshua's power. Joshua seems like he could be a very injury prone fighter in only 10 fights he's had to pull out a few times now.

[Hayehammer]

hes too young to be injured that often in recent time. somethings not right with him

[Chrismart]

Shame. The rounds against a defensive fighter like Johnson would of done Joshua good.

Hopefully he's not over doing it in the gym with the weights. Wouldn't be the first time. Was looking forward to him going at least 6 rounds.

Josh should fight English champion John McDermott next, followed by a few fights aboard.

They knew he was not yet ready for a guy like Kevin Johnson.

Why the *** would he do that?

John McDermott!?

Strangest suggestion i've heard for a long time.
