Ruiz $9 Million / AJ $60 Million - Ruiz to be stripped of belts

[Master]

Sky sports news are saying AJ has called Lennox Lewis a clown. Not a good PR move for AJ.

[Mark TKO]

Heard that but not sure I believe he'd say that about Lennox.

The truth will out..

AJ's unraveling I tell ya. Maybe Lennox quietly said the same thing I said in my last post.

I don't remember/don't care what the financial/contractual ins and outs were when Lennox got ingloriously knocked out by Rahman and McCall. All I know is Lennox came right back and avenged both losses.

Joshua's letting Hearn speak for him.... he's talked about wanting to get motivated again ....... and he's looking more and more like a wuss on a daily basis.

He should be chomping at the bit and demand Hearn STFU and be a bit more flexible. That is.................... if he really thinks he'll win the rematch.

I believe AJ is done , he will have a few wins for sure. Any fighter with a good chin will now just go for AJ, he isn't sound around the whiskers.

All smiles when winning , true colours shown now things are not 100%.
Will never cheer for this guy again , I hope Ruiz KOS him again.

not sure what was in the original contract regarding the rematch clause, ruiz may be sat on the shelf fighting in court rather than the ring, i'm sure uncle al will happily try to get wilder in matches to pick up stripped titles

[Fenster]

Is this the same Lennox Lewis who works for PBC (Al Haymon)? The one who called Joshua a coward? And constantly slates his team, training camp, decisions etc?

Another twist!

Speaking on Thursday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Warren said: “Eddie has a point that he’s got a contract with him, but he’s got a real problem in saying he’ll be stripped of his titles.

“That’s not up to him at all, the titles belong to the governing bodies.

“The bottom line is, the US State Department advises its citizens not to go to Saudi Arabia for many reasons – the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, human rights issues, they’ve got a long paragraph on torture, cruel and inhumane treatment, women’s rights and it talks about the risk of going to airports where terrorists may attack – that’s all on their official website.

“His own government is telling him his life could be in danger.

It's not Joshua's true colours that are being revealed though is it? Lewis for all his amazing achievements outside of the ring, HAS acted like a clown in being so threatened by a current British Heavyweight. He is shown little class and Joshua could not have acted any more like a gentleman if he had been written as a character in a book. He was more than magnanimous in letting Ruiz take all the credit he was due, and yet now Ruiz is acting like a spoilt brat then people are lining up to rag on Joshua. If they already believe that this one loss will define him, you have to ask yourself, what kind of fan where they anyway.

I know that you were never blind to his faults in the ring but I really do not think AJ has done much outside of it for people to be lining up to make the former champion who put everything on the line. in another country, to a non-mandatory challenger, into some kind of Prima Donna.

Did anyone actually read that and think it was a decent bit of 'journalism'?

Seriously?

The heart of the matter is Joshua's comments towards Lewis. Lewis's career as impressive as it is makes no difference whatsoever to what has been said between Joshua and himself. The 'writer' reels off his victims as if it were some right of passage to say what he wants without question or retribution. How dare anyone question Lennox Lewis, he beat Frans Botha

As fine a fighter as he was, Lewis is an awful commentator and boxing observer. Him having a chip on his shoulder over Joshua's career choices, that Lewis hoped at one point would include him is hardly going to add clarity or humility to his comments which have for months, been snide and underhand. Everyone knows it. At least Joshua got to the point and just came out and called him a cunt.
