Gennady Golovkin made a rather unexpected assessment of Anthony Joshua's (22-0, 21 KOs) defeat last Saturday to Andy Ruiz Jr. (33-1, 22 KOs). For the British, this fight was the debut in the United States. Boxer from Kazakhstan among the causes of the loss of Joshua mentioned a difference in doping tests in the UK and in America.
"There are a lot of nuances. Joshua appeared in the United States for the first time at Madison Square Garden. He passed different tests for doping. It was certainly a great lesson for Anthony Joshua," said the former middleweight king.
"I can not say exactly what happened, because I was not a member of Joshua's team, but I can say that in the ring, he looked terrible. Anthony Joshua had a terrible day, but Ruiz was great," said Golovkin.
