Ray Winstone Admits to Frank Warren That He Thought Joshua Was Done

He goes on to praise Fury’s domestic rival, Anthony Joshua. However, Winstone admits that after watching Joshua’s devastating loss to Ruiz, he felt Joshua had given up.

“He got to a stage where it looked like he wasn’t hungry anymore, wasn’t thinking anymore and he wasn’t boxing anymore. He was leading with his chin and he looked stiff. He’ll get knocked spark out once he gets in with someone half useful.”- Ray Winstone to Frank Warren
