Manuel Charr (34-4, 20 KOs) compared Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) with Wladimir Klitschko during the worst periods of their careers. The youngest of the Klitschko brothers twice occupied the heavyweight throne. The second reign was long and very fruitful, and Klitschko managed to silence his critics for a long time.
“When Wladimir Klitschko lost quickly to Corrie Sanders, he completely changed his style. At that time he was not very strong mentally, he was broken, and we waited for several years for him to start fighting with the really best, from the top ten. For three years he fought only with bags, ”Charr said, comparing that Klitschko with the current Joshua.
The Brit, who lost his belts, continues his recovery so far thanks to victories over Jermaine Franklin (PTS 12) and Robert Helenius (KO 7).
“Today it became clear that Joshua is mentally broken. He needs time to recover because he is not ready for an opponent like Fury. In my opinion, Joshua needs to win five or six easier fights to get back to his old self. If he goes straight to the Wilder fight, it could be his goodbye to boxing. AJ is not ready for Fury or Wilder at the moment," Charr added.
