    Remember they called us conspiracy theorist? AJ finally comes clean

    Eddie said AJ's father was yelling at him because of room accomodations and meals. No. He was yelling at him for putting his son's life in danger forcing him to fight. And that fight ruined him. That chin is gone

    Anthony Joshua: World champion 'had health issue' before first Andy Ruiz fight

    Unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua said a health issue left him "tired" and "drained" in the build-up to his June defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr.

    Joshua, 30, reclaimed his world titles in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, dominating the Mexican over 12 rounds.

    Conspiracy theories had circulated after his initial defeat, one of the biggest shocks in heavyweight history.

    "I had some issue with my health which I was going through for a long time," Joshua told the 5 Live Boxing podcast.

    The Briton added: "I didn't know what was wrong with me. I felt so tired and drained and thought it must be down to training.

    "In the changing room before the fight I got a bucket of ice and was putting my head in it thinking 'why do I feel so tired?'

      I knew something was up after his Dad wanted to get at Hearn post fight, still I doubt Hearn pushed ahead without AJ agreeing to also. They all thought that Ruiz was a walkover even if Joshua wasn't 100% and that cost him his 0.

          AJ "agreed" to it no doubt. But his father saw how Hearn got him to agree to it that's why it went after Hearn.

              Agreed they went through with it anyway bc they though Ruiz was an easy win. Joshua sure had enough in the tank to put Ruiz on his ass, which the excuse makers like to ignore.

                  Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me. Even in full health he went life and death and was about to get KOD every time he was in close distance

                          You like us have no idea, the difference is you are making things up and stating them as facts.

                              If you believe this, you must believe Manny’s shoulder was really injured.

                                  Yeah, after a while this type of stuff begins to look sort of toxic....

                                      I have to ask what's the point of you going into every single thread trying to police what others talk about? Are you auditioning to be a mod?
