I think I've said this before and it's pretty obvious judging from both my Hive Username and Profile that I'm a huge fan of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). WWE isn't just my favorite sport, it's my only sport. It's the only sport I follow but I prefer to write about tech, crypto and Web 3.0 most of the times.
There are super stars in certain sport industries that regardless of whether you're fan of the sport or not you'll probably know a thing or two about them.
I mean who doesn't know Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. Although I don't watch football at all, I know these guys. I'm not a fan of live TV shows but I know the Kardashians. Whether you're fan of his music or not, you definitely know Micheal Jackson.
Floyd Mayweather is an classical example in the boxing industry. Not a fan of boxing but certainly a fan of money so I like Floyd a lot.
But I'm not talking about these guys. One guy that well I wouldn't say I follow but if I come across his video on the Internet I'll definitely pay attention to is Anthony Joshua, the renowned British boxer. The unthinkable happened on Saturday and it's unfortunate that I'm only hearing this now.
The long awaited bout between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois happened. I think the reason why I saw it was because of the outcome. Anthony Joshua lost to Daniel and for me it wasn't even the fact that he lost but how he lost.
He got knocked out multiple times and I can't say I was surprised at a knock out but I was surprised that he lost. Daniel is 27 years and that makes him pretty young compared to Anthony Joshua who's 34 currently. However, Anthony has more experience than Daniel so he came into the fight with so much confidence.
Just check out their very dramatic interview which almost ended in an uncalled for fight between the two.
I remember watching this week's before the fight and I thought to myself Anthony won't just win but might end up killing Daniel and the opposite happened.
Here was Tyson Fury's response to it
It's so true when he said this could happen to anybody. I'm beginning to think this might be the time for AJ to retire. He did say that he would perhaps retire at age 37 which is a great age to retire as a boxer because as you grow older if you keep taking the body through intense hits like that in the ring, you might end up with injuries with no solutions so it's wise to start boxing early and finish early.
Well he's 34 so perhaps he could still keep going for some 3 years before retirement. However everyone has different opinions on that.
This live talkshow happened a few hours ago from the time of writing this blog and one host said this is the best time for Anthony to stay in boxing and he could make huge money from it. People will be eager to watch him again.
However the host in the middle said Anthony should step aside for his health sake because if he keeps going he could get severely injured.
When the match ended, Tyson fury who was sitting in one of the front row seats with Conor McGregor screamed ; "that’s cost me £150 million"
I'm not too certain exactly what he meant but it sounds like money he lost from bet I think. Anyways, wishing for the very best for Anthony. It happens in a lot in life. Especially if you're great and you become way too confident.
