Boxing: Anthony Josua termed as the biggest ‘hypocrite’

Anthony Joshua changed his game plan to regain the heavyweight titles from Andy Ruiz Jr. The knockout specialist did not rush for a heavy punch and kept on jabbing and running throughout the fight. Well, the smart move definitely earned him the titles, but it has also earned him the tag of 'the biggest hypocrite of the boxing universe' by Jarrel Miller.

Jarrel Miller reminded boxing fans about Anthony Joshua’s comments from 2017. He also slammed Joshua verbally after his recent victory against Andy Ruiz Jr. Back in 2017, Anthony Joshua criticised Tyson Fury’s victory over Wladimir Klitschko and said that The Gypsy King did nothing except running and jabbing. Well, that’s what Anthony Joshua did in his latest fight against Andy Ruiz Jr and Jarrel Miller wasted no time in pointing that out. In an interview from 2017, Anthony Joshua said, “I know it’s the ‘art of boxing’ but I always said that you come to sleigh the king, you look him in his face and take what’s his.” Take a look at Anthony Joshua’s statement over Tyson Fury’s victory in 2017.
