Ugh who the Frak OK’d this fight?
Joshua needs to step up the level of competition by a HUGE degree.
He is only going backwards with fights like this.
They just wanted to know if he could get rid of Gavern faster than Wilder did… He did. Let’s move on.
Coming off of an injury…
I fully agree with No10Count below. Joshua a very good prospect but needs to fight rivals of better qualifications to really demonstrate who he is.
