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

[andocom]

This appears to be just straight made up? People are putting up fake posts and getting called for it (by Tyson Fury's uncle no less).

Joshua's father said this publicly but only been referenced by a post from some random unknown. If there was record of him saying this it would be everywhere by now.

Unless there is something else this is straight up fake news.

Look, I am not going to say there was or not a panic attack. But the delay, the lacks of focus, something was happening and Mr Hearn wanted to milk the cow. I think Aj might felt bad and didn't want to come out.

But whatever happened, still, there is something going on there.

Panic attack? I’ve heard all sorts of rumours - there was no issue at all going into the fight

You think Ruiz didn’t have anxiety about going out in front of all those people with that belly and no shirt?

Yet he overcame it.

Joshua himself never said any of this. You never know what's going on inside someone's head unless you are them.

He paid for his mistake and lost a lot of money in the process.

Now it just seems people are piling on and saying all kinds of stuff about what supposedly was wrong with him.

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?

Absolutely great post. Thanks!

It's probably better than the real truth though.

LOL.

To be fair, would anyone expect Hearn to say it was true. It wouldn't really paint him in a positive light. This is the type of story I think will stay under wraps until Joshua's career is over.
