Ebanie Bridges claims ‘scared’ Anthony Joshua has a ‘glass chin’ and says Deontay Wilder will knock him out
EBANIE BRIDGES has slammed Anthony Joshua as “scared” ahead of his potential fight against Deontay Wilder.
AJ has been earmarked to fight the Bronze Bomber in a Saudi Arabian boxing tournament later this year.

However, IBF bantamweight champion Bridges does not give the Brit much hope of winning the bout due to his “glass chin”.
She told talkSPORT: “I think Wilder knocks Joshua out.
“I always said that because Joshua has shown his whole career he has a glass chin.
“And, he’s even worse now because he’s scared and when you’re scared and hesitant, you’re even more susceptible to it.”
The other fight in the proposed tournament would see Tyson Fury finally take on Oleksandr Uysk following their failed negotiations for an undisputed title fight earlier this year.
But Bridges believes Fury has the upper hand on the Ukrainian thanks to an overwhelming physical advantage.
She said: “I think Fury wins that.
“He’s too big, strong, slick, skilful, he’s got all that and he’s not scared and he has spite, so I think all that beats Usyk.

“I think Usyk is very skilled, but Fury has the weight and the power and he’s a very natural heavyweight.
“So that’s why he’ll beat Usyk, he’ll be able to wear him down and tire him out.”
The current plan for the tournament will see the winner of both fights square off in a grand final.
However, this could take a twist with Usyk instead fighting Wilder and Joshua fighting Fury in a Battle of Britain showdown.
It comes after the WBA ordered Usyk to defend his title against Daniel Dubois.
But with a deal yet to be confirmed and if a fight doesn’t come to fruition then the WBA will order a fight between Usyk and Wilder.
