    a couple of years ago joshua could sell out 80000 seat stadiums in super quick time

    now hes fighting in a 20000 seat arena, tickets been on sale for 3 days and still thousands left that you can buy


    What caused this ?

    He's at best the No. 2 HW in Britain and arguably is No. 3.

    The two losses to Usyk have no doubt affected Joshua’s marketability/popularity but his antics after the second Usyk loss done him no favours what so ever ! If Joshua’s marketability has diminished then Hearn will cash him in for all he can,Fury Wilder Joyce fights will then be made in a heartbeat . Hopefully Joshua can fight on and re establish himself as the division is better with him in it .

    Joe Joyce is the 2nd best HW in the UK

    AJ is 3rd but could lose to anyone with a punchers chance at any time.

    No belts, tune up fight.

    Sometimes I feel like Joshua could really make a comeback but I stop the moment he opens his mouth.

    Shall I make a thread saying Fury will be ringside?

    If you think that there is even a slight possibility that Fury would even think about AJ for a split second at this moment in time then sure go ahead.

    Everyone knows AJ is finished and relegated to history as the guy who got gifted a gold medal and bought his first belt

    What’s caused this?

    crap opponent.

    If aj was fighting fury, wilder, usyk, whyte, dubious, Joyce,hrgovic it would have sold out

    Whyte 2 would have been fine and he only has a 10% punchers chance of losing to Whyte...

    Problem is he would have looked like crap again and plodded at Whyte because his mentality is trash.

    AJ could jab Whyte's nut in just as badly as Fury did but he isn't mentally capable. Easily goaded.

    His stock has plummeted after getting defeated soundly and his opponenent is not a top 5 fighter.
