Stop. Joshua was fine going into the fight.

[Mammoth]

🙅*♂️ Eddie Hearn has tonight denied multiple rumours that have been put forward as explanations for Anthony Joshua's defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr:

1⃣ He had a concussion going into the fight
2⃣ He was knocked out in sparring
3⃣ He suffered a pre-fight panic attack

Give it a break

I don’t get the rumours

The same thing happened v Whyte and Wlad except they didn’t finish the job. What are the excuses for AJ for them fights?

I’d be wondering if something was up if some iron chined fighter like GGG was being bounced off the canvas but we’ve seen this AJ out of it before, twice.

The English spin control is outta control


He got whooped. Deal with it.

I call bs on all these rumors, but Eddie shooting them down rings of the boy who cries wolf to most cats I bet. "Mfing been lying to us forever & now we are supposed to believe him?"

He's been KO'd by Joey Dawejko before multiple fights I think maybe.

You Wilder fans told me Hearn is a liar though.

Idk man I was noticing before the KO that he looked very strange. You know with his mouthpiece thing and all, the neck massage, the delay before coming out and just the look in his eyes. But you know it's all just speculation and you can say that was all just because of nerves (which I thought watching it live was the case as well). I do believe he got f#ked up with an equilibrium shot that basically ruined him for the whole fight.

If team Joshua says it's not true then we should assume it's not true. Although there is always the question if they would admit to it if it was the case. It would make Eddie and the team around AJ look real bad...
