AJ suffered a panic attack before the fight according to his father

[A.K]

This arena wanted to see him lose?

ehhh

Yes we dont like his ducking tactics in the states that’s not how we do it over here they all wanted to see him lose

[SkiPete]

If true his gold digging old man should keep his trap shut to protect his meal. Also how dumb do you have to be to think you can call the fight off at ring walks because you are ****ting it.

[Caught Square]

Bull****. Joshua has never received this much press before or after a fight. NY is the media capital of the WORLD!!!!!

I'm almost certain that your trolling lol.

[Eff Pandas]

Where is a more reputable source of Joshua's father saying this since he's apparently said it publicly?

Or who da f#ck is "ashikotoris"?

Eddie already shot this & all the bs I've been hearing down earlier. I was wondering where the panic attack sh^t was coming from cuz thats the one thing I hadn't heard yet.

AJ suffered even a bigger panic attack when Ruiz got up from the knock down and hit him with that hook on the side of the head.

The idea that only the UK watched Joshua vs Klitschko is absolute bollocks, that was a massive fight.

If the panic attack story is true it's baffling because he is usually relaxed like the Joshua vs Klitschko fight which was bigger than the Ruiz fight. Just because it was in the US it don't mean it was a bigger fight.

Yeah it kinda does, Wlad wasn't the champ and had lost to Fury, so the pressure of beating Wlad wasn't tremendous, and AJ had gotten used to fighting in his backyard his whole life.

In the USA not only was he fighting in front of a brand new and much larger general audience (referring to TV) he was also competing against Wilders KO of Breazele and all the trash talk that proceeded this fight.

I'm hearing rumors like crazy that he had a concussion going into the fight and was dropped twice in sparring the previous week. His dad wanted the fight called off but Eddie intervened.

People have been making a lot of comparisons between AJ and Mclellan when Gman fought Benn. The blinking, unable to hold a mouth piece, etc.. very scary stuff. I don't think it was a panic attack as much as it was something much more serious. He had acupuncture marks on his cheeks before the fight which is apparently used in treating concussions. A doctor was also administering a massage on the back of his neck before it started.

I actually believe the concussion stories more than this, or maybe its both lol. I don't wanna laugh but maybe he did had a concussion in the lead up to the fight. And his dad want the fight called off with the panic attack a well.

One thing is clear doe, him asking "Why am i feeling like this" in one of the rounds was weird as fuck.

I've never had one myself but know of enough people that have, but some of these guys in here sound so sure of how **** like that works. It can come out of nowhere. Doesn't matter if it's something new or familiar. Not taking anything away from Ruiz and I'm definitely not an AJ sympathizer but panic attacks are brutal for the people that experience them, assuming this is true, which who the **** knows. Probably a heap of issues leading up. Ruiz was going to win regardless though.

It has nothing to do with your struggle. Blaming everything on struggle is the reason why a lot of people from deprived backgrounds and the hoods always end up not getting checked for all the mental trauma they're going through because they think "struggle" cures everything and why there are so many nutters in the hoods killing one another with reckless abandon over dumb ****.

Anyone can suffer panic attack or mental breakdown. I was listening to Ron Artest the other day and he alluded to when he suffered mental breakdown and had to get help. Or did you go through more struggles than a Ron Artest who grew up in Queensbridge projects with no parents?

Bruh ron artest had a great dad his dad is a queens legend tf you talking about?

A struggle defines a human beign and builds character all the great fighters had one.

I mean think about it his first time going into a arena who hates him and he ain’t built for that he’s been pampered his whole career.
