Rumors of AJ getting beat up in sparring once again

The lesser fighters are usually trying a lot harder, they have something to prove. The elite fighter is usually trying to work on specific things. So it looks like the lesser fighter is "winning" when infact it's just the elite fighter not trying to win.Comment

Listen. I don't usually go for these sparring rumors but what caught my attention is the interviewer does work for PBC and the first sparring partner Hearn mentioned was Tabiti. A PBC fighter. That's the only reason this caught my attentionComment

Caught your attention? Your attention is constantly on DAZN, Hearn and Joshua and how you can try and spin ****. You got to be constantly searching twitter and instagram for info.

AJ and his team generally don't address sparring rumours and the only reason why the Joyce sparring video miraculously appeared on YouTube is because Joyce was running his mouth everywhere that he battered AJ in sparring to boost his profile. But after the video of him getting battered by AJ from pillar to post appeared on YouTube, he stopped talking about it. AJ has always destroyed Joyce at Sheffield. Heck, Joyce joined the Team GB ranks way before AJ started boxing and AJ beat him up and moved above him in the pecking order.I would rather have footage and rumors of my fighters (If training) looking like sht then blowing sparring partners out of the water... Sparring isn't about that IMO. The right training partners and work in is wayy more important. AJ CLEARLY had that ALL wrong for Ruiz.
The same with Dubois who was terrible when he was with Team GB and was never a big amateur prospect apart from his physical gift, hence he turned pro early. But somehow, he runs around claiming he knocked AJ out in sparring - even when his dad who used to be there all the time said it's a lie.Comment

I’d be more inclined to believe it if it wasn’t supposedly tabiti who was beating him up in sparring.Comment

Tabiti reached out to AJ himself (I think it's because both of them are of Nigerian descent) and he's also out there with him in Saudi Arabia. So he definitely didn't tell anyone anything. You think he cares about PBC after getting knocked out cold by the Cuban at WBSS? He's just with AJ to resurrect his own career and for guidance.
The short Mexican just created that crap in his head.Comment

Apparently the pro odds makers don't listen to such rumors either because AJ is a big favorite to win the fight.Comment
