    You’ve also been saying those images were on your harddrive as research for a book you are writing, so who knows at this point.

    I don't know what the New York State Athletic Commission's protocols are but I'm sure that if it is true that Joshua was KO'd within two weeks of the fight and this fact was revealed to the doctor, AJ would never have been cleared to fight. AJ's team may have concealed that fact from the Commission if it actually happened.

    I'm waiting for Kugan's customary hour-long sit down with Hearn after a big card. If there is any truth in these claims I'm sure it will be revealed.

    For what it's worth I doubt AJ was sparked out so close to the fight in sparring. He may have been knocked down in sparring but I believe McCracken would never allow Joshua to box if he really did get sparked out in sparring close to the fight.

    What fighters did Frank not pay? Please list them and the amount he owed them. Not disputing it btw.

    Also, two wrongs don't make a right, even if one of those wrongs are commited by the lord and saviour Eddie Hearn. Do you think it's justified to pay an unfit punch bag 9 grand to fight one of the best heavyweights in the world? It was an absolute disgrace.

    I don't think the rumours are true, if they are then I agree totally. How King got away with forcing Mccall into the Lewis rematch and threatning to sue Mccalls team who wanted to pull hum out for not being mentally right is digusting.

    Nothing wrong with AJ training in the amateur headquarters up in Sheffield, you have to be a very very good fighter to be allowed to mix it with those fighters, I know

    The ones I've seen say he was sparked by Kabayel and another saying he was sparked by Dawjeko.

    More telling that these rumours came out AFTER the fight if you ask me

    Is the two weeks before rule realistically enforced at levels joshuas fighting at...i,d be surprised tbh. Too much money on the line imo. Thats what you get the big money for tbh. Its not right....but is it realistic to postpone s fighg cause someond got knocked out two weeks beforehand at thaf level.

    I dont think he got knocked out anyway. Just looked like the pressure caughtup with him a bit. Think people underestimate how hard it is to take on tough challenger after tough challenger. Especislly considering that joshuss actually quite inexperienced in ghe grand dcheme of things. Klitchko made it look easy but no ones really tried to do it since hence why joshua has probably hsd the toughest run of fights in receng years up at heavyweight. He had an off night. Looked a bit too relaxed going in imo. And ruiz made him pay. Thought joshuas big mistake was jumping on ruiz too early. That should be the big learning takeawayfrom the fight. At that top level you need to chop the tree down sometimes. Joshuas got himself in a trap that it was all too easy. Needs to rid himself of that mindset and go in like a challenger again. Its happened to guys better than joshua before and will again.

    All crddit to ruiz tho. Done everything right. Heros performance.

    I can't find any fighters he didn't pay on google. I was aware he'd won and lost court cases against fighters. I'm just wondering who he didn't pay? Hayers bangs on about it all the time.

    Feel free to help me out.

    Agreed. Just shows how poor he really is at this when he isn't having "bants" with the boys.

    Besides, FW is oldschool. A proper bloke. He's leagues ahead of these interviewers.

    And the whole "Raw!" thing is played out now.

    I can't stand this new "gig" social media journalism. The model is based entirely on providing PR and not asking awkward questions so you get a press pass and the reverse happening if you don't, which effectively blackballs you from views and subscribers which is obviously where they get their money. Compare boxing "journalists" with how football managers get grilled after a match.

    You can hear the tension and disdain in Kugan's voice. Every sentence he utters is delivered with a sort of sneering contempt.

    You just know that' he's absolutely gutted the interview is on the basis of a complete upset for the promo outfit and fighter that's seen him, a literal amateur in all senses of the word "journalist", catapulted to a YT big player in boxing. Easy come, easy go!

    He still hasn't done his customary "professional" chat with Hearn yet, he came straight home after the upset lel, despite GGG Rolls stateside this weekend. MJP looked like she'd been crying for hours when she spoke to him.

    Even worse, that leech Hearn apparently tried to offer Ruiz Jr a derisory 40k USD to fight Joshua before going to Miller according to Brendan schaub, he righty told him were to go. What a slimy POS he is. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 6 mins 50 seconds in, Schaub is spot on when it comes to fighting, know his stuff.

    This. Why was this sparring stories nowhere before the fight? It's so coincidental that AJ loses and then we get stories about sparring.
