With his career hanging in the balance, the former heavyweight champion will fight at the O2 Arena in London for the first time since 2016, in a bout that has piqued the interest of combat sports fans.

Despite boxing well in his collisions with the Ukrainian wizard, he simply couldn’t solve the puzzle in front of him. Subsequently, his star power took a hit, resulting in him having to go back to competing in 20,000-seaters rather than the 80,000 stadiums of the glory days.

Knowing the importance of a big performance, he’s hooked up with renowned trainer Derrick James, in the hope that the American can unlock his full potential.

In the early portion of his career, AJ resembled a wrecking ball, capable of knocking down even the sturdiest of buildings. However, in recent times, he’s opted to try and box his way to victory, and it’s been his undoing.

This weekend he collides with a master craftsman, capable of taking him to school if he’s not careful. While he came away from his bout with Dillian Whyte with a defeat on his record, many felt he deserved the victory. Therefore, he’s coming into this bout with a massive chip on his shoulder, giving the event all the ingredients of a not to miss affair.
