    He's got a stress fracture in his back. Shame

    Yes read it in Freedoms thread. It happens. No conspiracy. I like Joshua I think he has the makings of being a champion.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Kevin Johnson COULD (big could of course) have been an issue for Joshua. I think it's best that he cancel this one if he wasn't feeling 100% because Kingpin can make you look bad even if you win, he's a cagey scrappy guy that doesn't like to engage often.

    Anthony Joshua should fight some live bodies coming up and just get in good work. Maybe at the end of the year he can fight a David Price, Tyson Fury, Hughie Fury, kind of guy and really get the Brits behind him.


    That said, are the Brits more behind Joshua or Fury at this point? Does David Price get any love still? Or David Haye? Rate them as most to least popular please

    Mine is : Tyson, Joshua, Hughie, price and then haye.

    I bet the British publics is: Joshua, Haye, Tyson, Price and then Hughie (Hughie isn't known at all)

    He hasnt even got passed british journeyman level and he's pulling out of fights!

    I reckon Hearn has seen sense about him fighting Johnson.

    Id be surprised if the fight gets rescheduled.

    Probably looking for an easier fight, like Tyson Fury perhaps?

    They were offered a fight after Hearn gobbed off. Hearn then shut up.

    Johnson was a massive ask. Going from fighting journeymen with no ambition and not going passed 3 rounds to fighting a genuine durable and awkward opponent who they had gifted a couple of months notice rather than his usual handful of days or weeks.

    Like I say. It wont be Johnson next

    Either this is the case or whoever is training him doesn't really know what they are doing.

    If it is genuine and they noticed it in training for the Sprott fight then I sincerely hope they haven't left it too late as otherwise iv just read it can lead to spondylolysis which my dad has. Its where the bone in the spine keeps growing or grows lump which put pressure on the disks which in turn put pressure on the nerves and every now and then its utter agony like someone stabbing you in the back and have pins and needles in your legs and cant walk very far. Whatever his trainer is doing with him, or letting him do, is not doing him any good!

    Was really looking forward to this and the Kevin Mitchell fight (which is now topping the bill)

    @ross are you on another conspiracy mission here

    Why risk your career and go into a fight not 100% and run the risk of future problems.

    People get injured - it's part and parcel of sport

    Exactly!

    Which is why I question why they went ahead with the Sprott fight and then went on to organise another fight without getting it checked first.

    Tony Simms.. doesn't know what he's doing
    Jimmy Tibbs.. doesn't know what he's doing
    Adam Booth.. doesn't know what he's doing

    Just think how good the fighters they have would be with a proper trainer. Someone like Peter Fury who's produced dozens of champions, oh wait a minute

    To be fair, I respect Peter Fury and from what I've seen, I think he's quite a knowledgeable and decent trainer.
    it's not his fault Ross has got his head Firmly placed halfway up Tyson's and Halfway up Eubank Jr's arses!!!

    We will see with what he can do with his son and nephews shall we. You all think they are shit. If he can make them world champions then he has to be up there.

    Chambers has been to the top and he rates Peter Fury. Whether its just motivation or whatever. What he is doing works.

    On a side note. Chambers is fighting Ustinov now on Tysons undercard.

    As for Booth. Its a shame Tyson wont get to fight anyone as great as Korobov, Valuev, Mormeck or Macaranelli to really prove himself.....
