Coach Joe Gallagher believes Daniel Dubois can be former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s first large win of his 11-year skilled profession if he’s victorious on Saturday night time reside on DAZN PPV.
Gallagher factors out the apparent, with Joshua’s resume plagued by beatable fighters, which leaves a query mark about whether or not he’s what some consider him to be.
Up till now, the fighters that Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) have overwhelmed have been a flawed bunch of lesser guys, who had been both by no means that nice to start win or within the case of Wladimir Klitschko, had been previous their prime at 41-years-old, coming off a loss and retirement.
It’s been smoke and mirrors with Joshua’s profession, with him being made to look higher than he truly is because of matchmaking. There’s an Edgar Berlanga-esque method about Joshua and the way he’s been maneuvered throughout his skilled profession. You should surprise if he’s a phony, manufactured fighter like Berlanga.
If the 34-year-old Joshua is victorious towards IBF heavyweight champion Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) on Saturday of their battle at Wembley Stadium in London, it should give AJ his first true win over a high quality fighter.
“Ben is a extremely good coach. It’s too early to say. I believe Anthony Joshua has run-of-the-mill opponents up till now. No matter which coach he had, it could have been comparable outcomes,” stated Joe Gallagher to the talkSport Boxing channel about whether or not Anthony Joshua has improved since hiring Ben Davison as his coach in 2023.
Joshua has solely been with coach Ben Davison for 2 fights towards Francis Ngannou and Otto Wallin. These are fighters that AJ might have overwhelmed even with simply somebody off the road in his nook to provide him water and cheerleading. Any senseless individual might inform Joshua, ‘The throw the appropriate.’ To know whether or not Davison has improved Joshua, he should defeat Dubois on Saturday night time and look good. I’ve my doubts.
“So that is the place we’ll know extra about Anthony Joshua and Ben Davison’s relationship on this battle on Saturday night time,” stated Gallagher. “I really feel this would be the first reside opponent that Anthony Joshua would have overwhelmed in his profession in Daniel Dubois, a younger, thrilling, large puncher.”
Clearly, Dubois is Joshua’s first reside opponent since his battle towards Oleksandr Usyk. If Joshua wins, it’s simply the very best victory of his profession.
Klitschko was 42. He’d been retired eight months and had [already lost] to Tyson Fury. He misplaced to Usyk and Andy Ruiz. This [Dubois] may very well be Joshua’s first reside opponent and first large win,” stated Gallagher.
AJ’s win over Wladimir in 2017 was tainted as a result of superior age, inactivity, earlier loss, and the Ukrainian being with out his coach Emanuel Steward. Though folks made a giant manufacturing was made about Joshua’s victory over Klitschko, folks failed to take a look at the place he was at in his profession. Folks had been do determined to create a faux hero.
Joshua’s greatest wins:
– Wladimir Klitschko: *41-years-old
– Alexander Povetkin
– Andy Ruiz Jr: *Out of form 283-lbs
– Dillian Whyte: *Injured
– Joseph Parker: *Referee controversy
– Carlos Takam
– Kubrat Pulev
