    I agree.

    I corrected the post afterwards, saying what I originally wrote was a disservice to Bruno.

    I think it will be that or maybe Joshua v Parker 2 and a similar spin.

    That Freddie leech has well and truly had his claws into AJ from the off. He's made an absolute fortune of the back off AJ and he's probably no more than a college marketing student. Little rat never let's AJ out of his sight.

    Hearn with AJ, or Steffy Bull with Terri Harper or the 2 single best management/promoter jobs done in recent memory, and neither Hearn or Steffy would lthank you for the plaudits as I think they believe what they are saying which is possibly why it's so convincing to most

    Is Hearn's matchmaking really to blame? Dubois seems to have learnt more from 9 rounds with Usyk than Joshua has fighting Usyk twice. Is Usyk so good because he doesn't duck fights, or did he not duck any fights because he was already so good? It's the old duck and egg debate.

    Hearn must be a PR genius as Joshua is massively popular yet his most entertaining fights have been him falling about. Dubois was more entertaining for 5 rounds on Saturday than Joshua has ever been in victory.

    I disagree about Hearn - the man is a serial liar, he knows he is a liar, he knows how to lie with credibility but now even the least intelligent Joshua fans, continually poked by Hearn into believing he was an ATG, must be feeling really stupid today.

    The evidence was there in the Olympics then the Whyte fight in 2015. Those people thought Hearn was Santa Claus.

    I'm not certain he doesn't blindly believe what he says on AJ, one thing he knows is he is worth a lot of ££££££

    AJ has been in with more HW big punchers than most in Wlad, Povetkin and Whyte.

    They do say the first stage of grief is denial.

    Hearn has done an incredible job with him, I think the problem Joshua believes a lot of it, he is so arrogant

    And Povetkin and Wlad had a combined age of 80 when they fought AJ.

    Whyte lol, has a KO percentage of about 66%.
