This is not the first time that Chael Sonnen has criticized Joshua. The UFC legend has doubted AJ’s training every then and now. Last year, he even described Joshua as the laziest man in boxing through a tweet.

Sonnen is always on his toes to find a fault in Joshua’s training and his skills. Similarly, he is always ready to review it and escalate through his social media platforms, where he portrays the mistakes as crimes of Joshua.

Chael Sonnen analyzed the first fight of Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr., where he explained how the Mexican dominated Joshua in the ring with his technique and power. Eventually, Joshua gave up the fight by losing via TKO.
