    Joshua got chinned by an American fighter called Joey Dawejko in his camp for the first Ruiz fight.

    Aye maybe. It was certainly above British level though I'd say.
    Sparring stories are just used to generate interest, otherwise Willy Hutchinson would have flattened Buatsi like he said he would

    IIRC Frazer Clark sparred Price, Dubois, and AJ and said Price was the hardest hitter. Adam Machaj (a journeyman / camp body) rated Price as a heavier hitter than AJ, Wlad, or Fury. Shame he had no gas tank really.

    Price lacked the confidence and stamina. Aside from that, his power made him one of the most dangerous heavyweights around. That shot he caught Povetkin with was great.

    Foster denied Price never having to work again. Price had 5 seconds to knock Povetkin out. The finisher he was and the way he was boxing that night I think he’d have done it. Nobody gives standing 8s for that. Very rarely anyway. Foster known for doing something similar in the 9th of a world title fight.

    Price was murder in the gym and was way senior to Joshua at the time.

    Wow that's mental I can't believe someone with a chin as bulletproof as Joshua's could be KO by such a weak punch as 6'9 KO artist Price's. Mind blowing.

    If you took a regulation size dart board and pinned a passport sized photo of sixty of AJs career sparring partners to it - (so the dartboard is now covered in passport sized photos)

    then if you took a random member of the public with no darting expertise, and stood them at regulation oche distance from the board

    then asked them to throw three darts at the board - but first you blindfolded them


    There is a greater than 66% chance they would land a dart into the photo of a boxer who has knocked AJ out in sparring

    Thats simple maths.

    but mostly THATS how utterly disgraceful AJs glass jaw is.

    The most heavily protected british heavyweight in history.

    Yet the ex Bullseye Brigade/ Matchroom fans still incredibly think Joshua is an ATG even though he has never defeated any great fighter less than 41 years of age.

    Unbelievable Jeff and they are not going to believe any Joshua chin facts unless Big Audley comes out of retirement and knocks him clean out.

    A fantastic tune at the end of the Joshua count just to rub it in even more
