Boxing News - Anthony Joshua criticised by Lennox Lewis
Former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has criticised Anthony Joshua and has questioned his eagerness to test himself against the likes of Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.
“Joshua can take his time. He’s champion now,” Lewis said of ‘AJ’ during an interview with Boxing News. “He says he doesn’t want to fight Tyson Fury for a year or so.
“He wants to go around making money. I think that’s going to be a downfall for him. He has to stay with it, he can’t be in the background. If he wants to be champion, he has to act like a champion.”
I know I surpass him in brain power
Boxing News - Tyson Fury reveals advantage over Deontay Wilder
Fury believes his mental strength will get him through his December showdown with Wilder, in which he’ll bid to become the WBC heavyweight champion.
"Fights ain't won on brawn, or size, or mass, or power. All fights are won on brain power," Fury told BT Sport.
"Wilder has everything a world heavyweight champion should have, so I'm going to overcome that.
"I'll have to use my brainpower. I do believe, whatever he advances me on: whether it's speed, athleticism, ability to jump high, run fast, train harder, swim better, it doesn't matter.
"Because I know I surpass him in brain power, because if I didn't I wouldn't be in this position after two and a half years out of the ring and battling all that stuff I battled if I didn't have the brain power."
Boxing News - GGG’s promoter makes huge Canelo claim
Gennady Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler has claimed Canelo Alvarez dodged a random drug test after winning his rematch with ‘GGG’ in September.
“Jake, Vada scheduled a random test for GGG a week after the fight,” Loeffler tweeted.
“I made sure that Canelo was also going to be tested.
"Next day the random test was cancelled.
“Strange that it was scheduled then cancelled, maybe Canelo was already in MX eating steaks celebrating his ‘decision’.”
