Jared Anderson (13-0, 13 KOs) joined a large group of those who believe that Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) as a top boxer ended after an early defeat Andy Ruiz in June 2019.

The Englishman took revenge on the Mexican "Destroyer", but he no longer takes risks in the ring, as before. A week ago, he outplayed Jermain Franklin, seemingly clearly and convincingly, but some boxing fans were not impressed with his performance.

“Joshua looked a little better with Franklin, but still not in the form he could beat Fury or Wilder. The knockout from Andy Ruiz made Joshua not the same fighter he used to be, ”said the American heavyweight.

Anderson (WBC #11, WBA #11, WBO #9) will face George Arias (18-0, 7 KOs) this Saturday in his first fight of the year. Joshua, according to unofficial information, will return in July for a rematch with Dillian Whyte.
