Although ‘AJ’ admitted he does not know much about football, the former two-time heavyweight champion of the world reckoned that concentrating on playing well for England would help Bellingham overcome his nightmare in Spain.
The 36-year-old boxer, who is currently preparing to fight social media influencer, Jake Paul, in an exhibition bout on Decemver 19th in Miami, USA, posited that only Bellingham would be able to say exactly how his current woes are affecting him.
Joshua retorted, “I don’t understand exactly what’s going on. (But) the main thing for him to focus on is getting on that pitch and representing his country and doing a good job.
“It doesn’t matter what you say; that’s what we’ve got to focus on. He’s probably just tunnel vision, which most people don’t understand what it takes to be in Jude Bellingham’s position.”
