JUST ANT ON ‘What a f***ing joke’ – Eddie Hearn hits back at ‘disgusting’ claims about Anthony Joshua’s career
EDDIE HEARN fumed at Anthony Joshua being urged to retire.
American author Thomas Hauser – who penned several acclaimed books on Muhammad Ali – wrote a Guardian column directed at AJ.
It was headlined “The bravest thing Anthony Joshua can do is retire from boxing.”
And Hauser pleaded with the two-time heavyweight world champion to walk away with his health intact and fortune secured aged 33.
But the piece has disgusted Joshua’s promoter Hearn, who hit out at the article and any suggestion of AJ retiring.
He told Boxing Social: “What a f***ing joke. I’m just gonna say it, Thomas Hauser needs to retire, he’s so far detached from reality
“He doesn’t know Anthony Joshua – he’s hardly even had a conversation with him.
“Has he ever watched him in the gym or sat down and spoken to him?
“I just find it absolutely bizarre that you can lose a split decision to Oleksandr Usyk, come back and win nearly every round against Jermaine Franklin and then it’s “you have to retire now”.
“What the f*** are these people talking about? Thomas Hauser is a disgrace for writing that. Honestly I found that article disgusting.”
