Comments Thread For: Hearn: No Concern Over Anthony Joshua's Career High Weight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn is not concerned at all, after WBA, IBO, IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) weighed in at a career-high weight of 254-pounds. Joshua's previous high was 250-pounds, which he weighed in at for his last ring appearance - an April TKO win over Wladimir Klitschko before a crowd of 90,000 at Wembley in London. On Saturday, he will have nearly 78,000 fans watching as he faces Carlos Takam at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Does that mean he has a chance of being a two division champ if the wbc does create the siper heavyweight weight class?

This new weight class makes no sense whatsoever, they could create super cruiser weight and live heavyweight division alone.

Antony Joshua is already weighing 250+ pounds in his fourth year as a pro after his most meaningful fight with Wladimir Klitshcko, but Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder has been a constant professional and disciplined for over NINE years as a pro.

It is true what IBF cruiserweight champion Murat Gassiev has said about Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder to paraphrase his remarks 'Nobody works harder than Deontay Wilder'.

I don't think weight gaining has anything to do with Professionalism here...

Joshua is a gym rat & his weight still going higher & higher every year.

Doubt Wilder trains as much as Joshua, he doesn't even run to begin with.

AJ is a body-builder...,far too bulky for boxing.

I will take Murat Gassiev's words over yours : Gassi has trained with Klitshcko AND Wilder and he said Wilder worked HARDER than the lineal champion at a time that Wlad was primed Wow!

Anthony Joshua only spends his time in the gym liftting weights and neglects his cardio ; for example he was gassed just dribbling a basketball to half court! ( its on youtube ) -- so in the basketball court or the Ring Deontay schools A.J.
