    apparently Joshua is rocked again in sparring according to reports

    Just like the last camp, which WBN reported first at the time, Joshua was rumored to have been hurt significantly when trading blows with a sparring partner. During training for the June 1st meeting, WBN revealed it was Joey Dawejko who dropped AJ as he was put through his paces for an American debut. Dawejko was then silent when asked to confirm the rumors, only adding more fuel to the fire. This time around, but without a name for confirmation, Joshua was again rocked in the run-up to facing Mexico’s first heavyweight king. Albon Pervizaj, Tom Little, Derek Chisora, Andrew Tabiti and Timothy Moten have all spent time inside the ropes with Joshua since the summer. Any one of those could be responsible for the incident, which comes despite further news stories of Joshua being dominant. Obviously, being one of the biggest punchers in the division, the former world champion can give as good as he gets. But given the level of class most of those sparring partners are at, it doesn’t bode well for Joshua’s chances of revenge. Ruiz is no longer the unknown quantity he was. And no longer considered the out-of-shape also-ran from the first bout at Madison Square Garden. Many fans of Joshua claim the result of the victory, in which the Briton was dropped four times, was merely an underestimation on his part. Many more of those fully expect rectification in Saudi Arabia. On the flipside of that, there are detractors who see Ruiz simply having Joshua’s number and on the cusp of fully repeating his feat of six months ago. It all builds up nicely to one of the biggest top division battles of the year. Made all the more important due to what is at stake for Joshua.

        These insecure and low self-esteem having fat yanks, man.

        If you lot spent more time on buying Wilder PPV's, he'd be a big draw. But you won't and you spend all your time on creating stories about AJ in your wooden houses, lol. Crazy fu.ckers.

        Anyway, when are you lot going to find Wilder's PPV numbers? You know who's rocking AJ in sparring in the UK but can't find WIlder's PPV numbers in your country. LMAO.

          According to what I've been reading, AJ is sparring fast CWs who can replicate Andy's hand speed. The sparring partners are rotated every 3 rounds to keep them fresh and active. If you spar smaller, faster guys on that basis it stands to reason that some of them are going to land more punches on you than you land on them. Chinese whispers does the rest!

                WBN is Bullsh^t News. They got some of the worst boxing articles out there and they often come with national enquirer of boxing type headlines that they have no proof of and get proven false with time. One of their go to moves are bad fight dates for fights people are hyped for.

                    guaranteed that a brit will make a thread soon saying hes knocking everyone out in sparring, hearns paid trolls are very serious about controlling the narrative. either way it doesn't matter, fight night is what matters I'm pretty sure all fighters get good work in sparring, I just think this style is all wrong for aj
