The IBA European champion, Russian Artur Subkhankulov, in a conversation with , expressed the opinion that the British Antoine Joshua after a defeat against a compatriot Daniel Dubois will not be able to return to a high level.
In September in London, Dubois knocked out Joshua in the fifth round to retain the IBF heavyweight title. Dubois has 22 victories and two defeats in the professional ring. Now the statistics of former WBO, IBF and WBA champion Joshua are 28 wins and four losses.
“To me, Joshua is a downed pilot.” He can’t stand a punch… Just a missed blow, he immediately gets lost, starts to “make a fuss”, which then leads to a knockout. I think it is unlikely that he will be able to return to the highest level,” Subkhankulov told .
Subkhankulov himself (6-0, KO 4) will fight for the WBA Asia belt in the second featherweight division against the Chinese Liu Wennsong (11-3-1, KO 8) on October 17 in Ufa during the “Betting League” tournament “. Night of IBA Champions”, which will be held within the framework of the forum “Russia – a sporting power”. This program will be broadcast live on the channel on October 17.
