I know it was a while back, but didn't Wlad own AJ in sparring?

    Sparring vs a future opponent means something, especially when you do well. It helps confidence, which is something Wlad needs. Wlad is a smart fighter. He knows what is likely to work.

    Joshua can still be considered a novice and hasn't transformed that much from the time they sparred nor has he stepped up in class. Actually, he's stepped down a bit in class since becoming champion.

    Wlad will be the best he's faced by far.

    And Joshuas best win is...? And also, who did he beat that was the size or punched as Wlad? You might be right, but your arguments are shyte.

    I don't think this will go to the cards, Joshua might get Wlad but i think Klitschkos experince will get him the win.

    He's been there before and knows he only need to land one good shot.

    I don't know about word on the street lol but there's a recent interview Drenlou with AJ straight after his mismatch the other night,that tasty looking Michelle I think she's called,she was wearing a shirt that was revealing everything,I couldn't help wonder if AJ bats for the other side as he never looked,not even once at those boobies lol?
    Anyway she asked him about his sparring with Wlad and he said it was a real learning experience for him,he said Dillian Whyte was there and they were both still in beef mode even then,also said scooba Scott was there probably running around the ring away from Wlad,I wouldn't expect him to admit he was hammered but he said he used it as a learning experience on how to go about a camp with a neat gym and serious sparring,he thought he'd done ok as Wlad was sending some of the sparring partners back home cause they weren't up to it,he also said its just sparring and not to read much into it either way?
    Looking back I reckon this was Maybe the last time the Wlad that we all know was still a monster both in sparring and in the ring as he flattened Pulev and Povetkin,since then he had two poor performances against Fury and his fight before this?

    It was sparring. Joshuas a different boxer now. Hes improved but we'll soon find out just how much when he fights the Wlad.

    It's like Joshua was telling my wife Michelle Phelps, it was just sparring. Joshua who was an up and coming at the time, took the opportunity as a learning experience. As he got there, other potential opponents like Whyte and Kevin Johnson were there watching so he didn't want to give away too much. As it turns out, Wlad is now his next opponent so in hindsight, it just strengthens his choice not to try and look impressive in sparring.

    Is there any story about Wlad being dropped in sparring? Considering he's been a pro twenty years somebody must have dropped him? Joshua has been dropped by Price and KO'd by Lawrie Okolie, Wlad probably went easy on him. Wlad defo knocked out Wilder in sparring.

    In an environment like that which draws more attention to it, I actually shamelessly look for a good second at a time and look back into their eye and carry on talking as though what I did is completely fine, because it is. I look at it again whenever my brain is compelling me to. I don't care for strictly eye contact, but I'm not a weird pervert about it either. You're fighting their fight if you're just trying to concentrate only on the eyes and it's like it's just putting them on a pedestal.
    Gannicus gets philosophical.
