What Eddie Hearn screamed at Anthony Joshua after being 'hit in the nuts' during devastating Daniel Dubois defeat

dailyrecord.co.uk

Eddie Hearn has revealed he was screaming at Anthony Joshua to use his experience and take five after being 'hit in the nuts' by Daniel Dubois during his devastating IBF heavyweight world title defeat.

Dubois thumped AJ around the Wembley ring as he dominated the majorly hyped all-British boxing clash, knocking him to the canvas in the first and third rounds then twice in the fourth as another below par Joshua display saw him staggering around simply trying to survive.

He looked to have rallied in the fifth, only for Dubois to put the lights out with a counter on the chin to send Joshua tumbling.

Joshua was afforded the opportunity for some respite towards the end of the fourth when Dubois caught him with a low blow. And Matchroom promoter Hearn has revealed the mistake his man made in that moment that could have allowed him to regain his scrambled senses a little. "People always question people’s heart, even the last knockout he’s scrambling to get up, he couldn’t have tried another inch and that’s all you can give to people," Hearn said. "I think when you do that you can look yourself in the mirror and say, ‘I might not have been good enough tonight but I’ve tried my nuts off and I gave everything’. "I spoke to him last night and he said, ‘I’m ready to go in the trenches tomorrow night’, he went all the way in the trenches.
