I think some fighters are just flat out annoyed that the AJ payday flew out the window with the Ruiz loss. I do wonder as well whether some fighters felt AJ didnt show enough heart and quit too? I know some fans did
It wasn’t long ago, Dave was considering an offer from Warren to get bashed up by a 5-0 Dubois- now he is basically saying he can beat AJ. What a world we live in.
He doesn’t like Joshua much. Apparently Joshua breaks lots of etiquette rules regarding sparring - ie treating opponents disrespectfully and not paying them for their time. Allen has mentioned this on twitter a few times.
Joshua trains at the lottery-funded GB amateur set up. Does he pay anything for this or his living accommodation?
I don’t know the answer to that but Frank Warren recently described it as a ‘liberty’ that Joshua uses those tax funded facilities (this stopping GB amateurs having full use).
Dave has always been a bit off with Joshua and how he's not a fan of his but can respect what he's done. Seems to be a issue between the two. I suspect its more on Dave's side than Joshuas though!
You could tell, despite what he said on his interview, he was delighted that Joshua lost a couple of weeks ago. There's clearly an issue, would be interesting to know what it stems from.
