    Well this article seems confident that he was sparked out during his training camp
    That site is utterly pathetic, it pretends every bullshit windup on social media is their scoop.

    So is anyone buying this story?

    I just read another rumour that AJ had some kind of panic attack in the dressing room which caused the big delay.

    A day later and I’m still really bothered by the level of ignorance in these articles

    “Physically Joshua would have been fine for fight night, although mentally whether the Briton was all there is in question.”

    That is the kind of stupid you expect from fans. There is no way this writer could know if physically his concussion was no longer symptomatic. To write it and have an editor okay such ignorance is embarrassing

    Dillian Whyte has chipped in claiming it was AJs lack of steroids that cost him the fight.

    Long-term heavyweight rival Whyte has offered his own suggestions for the defeat....

    “Joshua could be heard on camera asking his trainer Rob McCracken, ‘Why do I feel like this?’ after the sixth round," Whyte told his YouTube channel.

    “It is because you’re in America with the VADA testing and you’re not on the juice, that’s why.

    “It’s harder to get therapeutic use exemptions in America than the UK, that’s why.”

    Whyte has labelled similar accusations at Joshua before and responded to the defeat on Sunday by posting a video of The Verve song The Drugs Don't Work.

    Honestly, that’s the most believable theory out of them all

    ive heard afew stories

    knocked out in sparring the week of the fight
    confiding in his trainer that he doesn't want anymore wars
    panic attack in training room
    unable to use roids
    strangest was a Mexican curse being put on joshua

    whichever you choose to believe if any it doesn't detract from what Ruiz did. He fully deserves the win but I do believe there was something wrong with Joshua. The way he was blinking and looking dazed before the 1st bell and the arguments between Hearn and his dad after the fight points to something being wrong that we don't know about. Not sure we will find out because Joshua doesn't want to become the new David Haye toe excuse maker. It's already embarassing enough losing in that fashion to an obese small guy so excuses would make it worse

    quick to agree a rematch aswel which suggests the inner circle know summat we don't

    Yeah i thought he got 30 days to decide so to do it after 3 days definitely suggests something went very wrong in the camp or even on the night.
    It's now gone from being a bit of a novelty/joke fight to the rematch being Massive.
