They aren’t used to it by now? Joshua just the new David Price

The lad hasn't been tested yet. If he lists the victory against grandpa Wach as his most notable achievement, it means that he's not there yet. I still don't class dubois as a top fighter, but for itauma to ask for a dubois fight, I think it's way too early for him. He'll be the next punching bag for a not remarkable boxer. Dubois is the name.

yeah I can imagine the devasting effect it had on Davison's gym. Hearn and the entire Brit boxing media was hyping Joshua's rebuilt as something amazing, and after knocking out Ngannou in devastating fashion, they were all hyping Davison as some ATG trainer. In reality Joshua's last rebuild was extremely soft touches that culminated against a 0-1 MMA guy.

they were all reading the experts talking about what a great boxing mind Ben has. then realized he isn't very good

I really like how Itauma wants to fight all of the time. That's the way to go. It's unfortunate that more fighters don't have that mentality. The once a year guys are going to get to the end of their careers and wish that they had fought more when it's time to write them into the history books.

Another fake news article...................

First "unexpected " there was nothing unexpected about Josh loosing again, there was a lot of people saying see i told you he was a bum......

Second "revival" of his carreer what the ? He has never been on top since fat boy knocked him silly in NYC -- And the only reason he was taken seriously before NYC was the hype and the push to make him something he is and was not.

(Shaking head with face in palm)…..what has this website come to? What a rancid load of old bollox

What exactly did AJ do for "British" boxing, Fury opened up the division by defeating Wlad and Haye was already doing big numbers and quite frankly it was the judges who gifted him against Savon let alone gold.

So if you want to argue someone has done anything for British boxing it was them because that gift is the reason he was popular to begin with.

As for Ben he's a cheerleader during weight loss not a real coach.

Hence why BJS recommended him to Fury in the first place, two guys who've always struggled with their weight and arguably can fight regardless of their trainer.

He's never built a fighter he's always essentially inherited champions, don't know why he get plaudits all the time...

And truth be known boxercise Ben probably will likely never build a championship fighter.

I just can’t be the one sitting around not doing anything. I have to do something. When I came back from my holiday I was eager to get back into the gym. Enjoying my life’s not really for me, because I don’t really deserve to enjoy it yet.

I like that attitude. Seems he's got a sensible head on his young shoulders and genuine passion for the game, good to see.
