The Silent Truth: Joshua’s Chin Is Gone Since Andy Ruiz
It really was a vicious knockout that saw Joshua brutally knocked out in maybe the most barbaric knockout of the 21st century.
It wasn’t just a knockout, knockouts like that, especially at heavyweight, are like a baseball bat scene out of the end of the casino movie.
They put him down.
Sure, you look at years ago Manny Pacquiao was savagely knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez and has come back since at nearly 47 to be competing in world title fights again at the moment.
The Dubois knockout however was at heavyweight, they hit much, much different to Juan Manuel Marquez.
It is the equivalent of a car crash.
Erol Spence at welterweight was never the same fighter again after his car crash of his Ferrari some years ago.
Joshua may not ever be the same after that Daniel Dubois car crash.
Paul for his part is training ferociously for Joshua.
