To quote Conor McGregor, who the fook is that guy? Look forward to the zero atmosphere in Riyadh courtesy of His Excellency. July 25th live on Deadzone
Just looked at his record and the only opponent I recognise is Joey Dawekjo, and that’s only because he was the bloke who apparently chinned Joshua in sparring before the first Ruiz fight.
Record. https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/760653 Ranking #32 above Mak #33, Yoka #34, H Fury #35. https://boxrec.com/en/ratings/M/box-pro/Heavyweight?offset=0
Totally understand Joshua needing a warmup before Fury, and wasn't expecting a worldbeater. I was expecting someone I'd heard of though, someone like Kevin Lerena who might give him some rounds. Not one to get excited for.
Eddie gonna try and justify it based off his boxrec rating as the fact he has beaten every man he ever faced.
It’s a crap fight but it makes perfect sense. There are dozens of millions at stake in the Fury fight which will probably turn into a rematch and maybe even a trilogy. They were never going to jeopardise that with this warm up opponent. He’s there to just let Joshua loosen up and land a KO. Surely we all expected this type of opponent.
