BUSINESS FACE: Joshua sees no sense in playing the good guy anymore
ANTHONY JOSHUA has dismissed concerns from Lennox Lewis and claimed that a “lucky punch” was the reason for his dramatic loss to Andy Ruiz Jnr in June. Joshua, eager to impress in New York, dropped Ruiz in the third before walking on to a left hook from which he never really recovered. Fans inside Madison Square Garden were still reeling from the shock by the time the then-WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion was stopped in the seventh.
“I can’t look at that fight and agree that AJ was fully prepared,” Lewis tweeted in the aftermath while suggesting Joshua should consider changing his training team.
