    Hearn no doubt assured AJ's father before the fight, that Ruiz was of no threat.

    I'm sure they had an agreement when Hearn purchased AJ', where his dad was promised that Joshua would not be exposed to any harm.

    This is what was likely said in that confrontation.

    Dad '' You told me this man couldn't fight.''

    Eddie Hearn - ''I didn't know he was this good,''

    Joshua '' It's not Eddie's fault. Blame me''

    Yeah, that sounds about right.... but come on, u can't hold Eddie responsible, that's ridiculous. Did his dad get angry with Eddie when he put him in with Klitschko? who knocked him down? double standards.

    Who cares what AJ's dad thinks or does? Last time we saw him make a scene in the ring post-fight he grabbed the mic and randomly shouted "it's not steroids!" The guy is an unhinged maniac. I don't like Hearn but he has made his son filthy rich. AJ's dad should just shut the **** up and take a backseat because he's hormonal and cannot control his emotions in the ring.

    I wish it had kicked off big time right then and there between E-Hearn and that ungrateful swine because Robo Squad Sr. would've got his ass paddled worse by E-Hearn than his son did by Ruiz. E-Hearn transformed Robo Squad from a pauper to a king and into one of the biggest draws and attractions in the sport and made both Sr. and Jr. rich beyond their wildest dreams. It's not E-Hearn's fault Robo Squad got knocked out in sparring (assuming the rumour is true that is), Robo Squad Sr. is the one who passed on his glass-jaw gene to his son and if it came from Mama Robo Squad's side of the family it's still his fault for not possessing the good sense to sire a child with a woman with above average punch resistance.

    Aj's dad is a bit of an idiot tbf.

    Remember I think after Aj won a world title from Martin his Dad got on the mic and started denying AJ was on steroids. Was some very awkward looks after and they quickly took the mic away lol

    Seeing your son get his face kicked in is probably an emotional experience.

    So his father had an irrational, emotional response.

    He should be thanking Hearn

    that they have managed to con the public into getting Joshua 50m in the bank in career earnings, because like it or lump it he quit.

    Yeah I definitely witnessed the heated exchange.

    He seemed upset at Hearn and Co. thinking that they were responsible for this blunder. But AJ said "Relax dad, calm down, I'm the one fighting"

    It was AJ who messed up in there, his Dad is just upset that AJ had to lose in disgusting and embarrassing fashion infront of the world in his US debut.
