“About to Lose Whatever His Next Fight Is”: Anthony Joshua Returning to Train With Derrick James Following His “Darkness Retreat” Does Not Sit Well With Fans

To strengthen his mentality and condition his will to dominate the sport, Anthony Joshua recently embraced solitude. In what is now called a “darkness retreat,” the 34-year-old entered a pitch-black room where he spent four days completely alone. According to the former unified Heavyweight champion of the world, this process will turn him into a lion. While Joshua ran after this astounding metamorphosis, Deontay Wilder publicly called out ‘AJ’ for a potential fight.

According to Wilder, since everyone looks forward to ‘AJ’ vs. ‘The Bronze Bomber,’ it will amount to a “major disaster” if the duo never shared the ring. Likewise, straight from the horse’s mouth, Joshua received an invitation to leave “our stamp down in history” through a match that may find admission into the category of “classics and great fights“. In this connection, after ‘AJ’ was recently spotted with Derrick James inside a gym, fans went into a frenzy.

Taking to Instagram, Deontay Wilder confidently stated that he was ready to square off against ‘AJ’. In his opinion, the duo needs to step inside the ring to have the best time of their lives. In this context, adding weight to his proposal, the former WBC Heavyweight title holder also declared that it was silly of people to assume Joshua was not ready for the force that Wilder would bring. At this, after the latest photo of Derrick James and Joshua came forth, fans showed concern for both James and ‘AJ’.

Despite Joshua’s determination and Wilder’s encouraging words, a fan claimed ‘AJ’ is “about to lose whatever his next fight is”.

Recently, Errol Spence Jr. and Jermell Charlo, fighters whom James trained lost their matches. Likewise, one stated that “James has taken a lot of Ls lately“.

However, one urged Joshua to face Wilder next.
