‘AJ Can’t Fight Because He Is Not Tough’: Fans React as ‘Overrated’ Anthony Joshua Gets Slammed by Teddy Atlas

British boxer Anthony Joshua is one of the biggest heavyweight boxers of today’s generation. However, he recently lost to Oleksandr Usyk in a much-anticipated rematch. Following that, there have been many remarks made about the former British champion. 

Veteran boxing trainer Teddy Atlas was talking about Anthony Joshua and his career, and he stated, “With respect, fans in the UK love a good loser.”

“He (Joshua) knocked out Charles Martin, who’s not on anybody’s list of great fighters, to win the title. He’s been an overrated guy.”

“I can’t say it any clearer or give you any better reason for it – who has he beat?”

The August 20th bout between AJ and Oleksandr Usyk has certainly opened the gates for some of the most exciting match-ups. Joshua and Usyk fought for the second time inside the ring, and the latter emerged as the winner on both occasions. There was a high probability that the winner of this fight would go up against Tyson Fury. And as Usyk stood victorious, he is set to battle it out against Fury inside the squared circle. The two giants will get a chance to get their hands on the undisputed title. 

On the other hand, recently there have been talks about AJ fighting fellow Brit Tyson Fury in the near future. AJ has accepted the offer to fight the world heavyweight champion. AJ’s promoter, Eddie Hearn has revealed that the fight might take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on December 17th. It will be a 60-40% event, where Fury will take home the larger half.

Moreover, another heavyweight boxer who will probably fight with AJ is Deontay Wilder. Apparently, Wilder is one of the hardest punching heavyweights, and he has just lost to one boxer in his career. And that boxer is none other than ‘The Gypsy King’.
