‘A Punch Shouldn’t Take Up Two Pages on the Calendar’- Chael Sonnen Mocks Anthony Joshua for His Punching Technique

Published 01/16/2021, 6:32 AM EST

Unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has seemingly failed to impress MMA veteran Chael Sonnen with his recent training video.

Although Joshua poured his raw power into the clip, Sonnen found nothing alluring about it. Instead, he has demeaned Joshua’s punching abilities.

To intensify the tale, Joshua has posted a clip of him landing massive left hooks on a punching bag. While it sent most of the combat fans into a frenzy, not everyone praised ‘AJ’. Sonnen displayed his cheeky sense of humor while denouncing the Brit heavyweight.

He took to Twitter and wrote, “A punch shouldn’t take up TWO PAGES on the calendar”. Not only that, but Sonnen also reposted Joshua’s video to clarify his point. Here’s a glimpse of the clip.

Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury – Is AJ ready for war?

Anthony Joshua might look great in his fights and training videos, but an encounter against Tyson Fury will demand the best from him. There’s no denying the power that his punches pack and if connected properly, Joshua can floor anyone.

However, Fury got back on his feet from Wilder’s shot. That said, we can expect him to overcome Joshua’s power just as easily. Meanwhile, Fury’s body movement separates him from the other heavyweights and he can also control the distance well.

So, Joshua’s power shots can take a back seat if he cannot control the range and can end up being mauled by ‘The Gypsy King’.

But Joshua has proven himself to be an elite, and considering the unpredictability of heavyweight boxing, he has the chance to beat the otherwise unbowed Tyson Fury.

Amid all this, Tyson vs Joshua has the potential to be the biggest heavyweight battles of all time. Although we ridicule the heavyweights for several reasons, Fury and Joshua are two of the best in the division.
