Rumours Anthony Joshua recently dropped hard and hurt in sparring by Lawrence Okolie?

That dude also has enough power to put AJ and any other HW to sleep. As others have posted, it's a no win fight for AJ as Price has no real credibility with the general public. If AJ lost to him it would be far worse than Price losing to Thompson.

And Molina doesn't? This is heavyweight boxing. You can get knocked out by anyone.

I dunno about the sparring rumours but it's not true that Pirce was ever taken as serious opponent. AJ wanted the Klit fight this year if it didn't come through, he was always looking to fight a lesser opponent so as not to risk anything for next year.

ehh, Molina's team would have said the same thing if AJ fought Price and not him. Molina is ranked higher.

I read this today aswell, someone on facebook who claimed to know the GB lads posted it.

Price is a good fighter he just can't take a punch, he was beating Thompson both times before getting caught

He's a domestic level fighter. He won't make it anywhere past that

Sparring is practice. Not a measure of ability.
The only relevant thing about this is that it would have been recent and could have a psychological impact, depending where Anthony's head is at. Getting dropped in sparring doesn't mean he's any less talented a fighter though.

Just sparring but AJ needs this kind of stuff so he'll be ready when it does happen in a real fight!

I did like his reaction to being hurt by Whyte, he fought back and kept him off of him!

Thing is, he won't be able to fight off being hurt against guys like Wilder or Ortiz so hopefully their teaching him to clinch when in trouble!

The only issue is Josh's aura made be harmed. Not sure he had aura of invincibility but being decked in sparring can harm your reputation.

@ Price too risky of a fight. That dude got iced by Tony Thompson twice

Yep, that's where this story fell apart. Molina would beat Price

[Basco]

Sparring is different from a real fight for sure! In a real fight people don't hold back and will hit much harder. It,s a matter of time, somebody will check that chin soon!

It's sparring - so gotta take it with a grain of salt.

BUT, it's consistent with what AJ has shown thus far. Not the first time he'd been pumped in sparring, and being captain obvious - he got checked by a horrendously slow Whyte (who the **** can't telegraph a shot from him?).
