Senior Promotional Organization Manager Bob arum stated that the WBO / WBA / IBF World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs) is no longer an elite fighter.
The promoter cited the Britons’ latest fight against Andy Ruiz (33-2, 22 KOs), in which AJ managed to escape from the American.
Look at his recent workload. He was definitely knocked out by Andy Ruiz, who had 30 fights under our promotion. He is not a puncher. He has fast hands, he’s a good fighter, but not a powerful puncher, and look what he did to Joshua. It exposed Joshua’s chin. And look what happened in the rematch. Ruiz went to fight out of shape, he had fun between fights. I was fat. But what did Josué do? He didn’t try to get revenge in the fight by knocking out Ruiz, instead he ran around the ring and fat Andy couldn’t catch him. So looking at these two fights, I have to say that I no longer see Anthony Joshua as an elite fighter, period. I don’t care that he knocked out Klitschko at the end of his career, he fought other decent fighters. I am talking about now, because now we are in the present. Anthony Joshua is no longer an elite fighter in my opinion. ”
