Anthony Joshua v Jermaine Franklin April 1st

[Spicoli]

“I will retire if I lose,” Joshua said, per the Daily Mail. “I’m not here to battle people; if people want me to retire, I will retire.

“I’m not going to fight if people don’t want me to. It’s not even about the money, it’s about the competitor in you. That’s what’s important.

“I know when I am retired, I am gonna be chilling. I’m gonna be thinking, ‘F*** everyone, I am done.’

“You lot put so much pressure on me, so when I am done, the chains are going to be gone. I am going to be laughing and loving life.”

Reads like he hasn't come far from his last post-fight "what about me" rant with Usyk. Like he almost looks forward to exiting the door and not entering it. "Chains are going to be gone". Mayweather-land, minus the accomplishments tbh. And is he still doing vids of chopping down a dead tree? He's got nothing on Shavers and Foreman.

It’s funny because the interview I saw when asked if he would retire if he lost , he said he would decide, maybe, maybe not, win or lose. But it was his choice.
Sometimes it’s what these Journos DON’T print in a convo is most important.
Notwithstanding all of that, I hate when fighters talk about future plans and who they wanna fight in the week before a fight.

AJ is on Good Morning Britain and gave an interview just basically saying he would not retire if he lost. It was journalist being journalists.

He says he would like to face Tyson later in the year and he supports local children in his area make a better life for themselves. He also does not want his son to become a boxer.

AJ came across well.

sold out

The fight was only just sold out. It was a slow burner.

Joshua still feeling that Ruiz KO

If his hands got any closer to his chin his fingers will be his teeth.
