When AJ's time is passed only will people understand that he was a proper throwback fighter--we'll even look back at this current era like the way we do for the 70s heavyweight era
Muhammad Ali captured the world’s attention and he became the most famous human on earth in the 1970’s. Boxers nowadays aren’t nearly as universally known. Mike Tyson was the last one who really got to be and still is world-famous, apart from the boxing fans.
How dare you compare the 70s era to this era? In the 70s the heavyweight bouts were brutal slugfests
@@MorningWoodFairy
Yeah and you know how those brutal sluggers ended up losing?
Fights were brutal because boxers wanted to brawl and prove something to who? They exposed themselves to unnecessary damage. Fighting improves over time. Fighters should seek to hit and avoid getting hit as much as possible, and not brawling all the time, using their heads to block punches. That’s the sweet science
@@henrynwosu1 that's when fans started losing interest in the sport because the fights were getting boring. It started with Lewis , his boring chess fighting style and most importantly, the damn rematch clauses.
He’s such a decent and genuine person.
Lol. Anthony Joshua is totally fake. He was caught making racist remarks, selling drugs and bullying university students
Yes that's why he told all none whites in uk not to spend their money in any white business and took part in Bristol riots 😂😂😂 moron
He is kind hearted and strong at the same time
He’s a racist
When AJ manages to relax you can see he's a really nice dude. Great interview.
Listening properly to the person you’re talking to is a trait most interviewers don’t have. This guy has it. Great stuff.
Feel AJ finally feels content within himself. It’s been a long time and fair play to him. He’s clearly done some soul searching.
His bank balance plays a part in that I reckon
@@Johnnycasshhhe's always been the cash cow so i doubt it's the money as he always been getting to the bag.
Honestly I just wanna see him laughing Always. It literally gives me joy. ❤️
Beautiful masterpiece here ... Matchroom media cracked a cheat code with this one. The presentation is top-notch, background music on point, and the interview is class. Well done ✔️ Team. More of this content 👌
Reppin AJ for life. AJ will be 3x world champion♥️💪🇬🇧💯👍✍️
You can tell when AJ is enjoying an interview and when he isn't 😊
This fight is something..50yrs of rumble in the jungle..wow.and we about to witness another banger
Warm hearted and beautiful interview.
24 is his year. Let's go champ!
ive always been on the AJ train man i remember being on the DLR going past the excel arena when he won gold at the 2012 olympics and hearing the radio saying he won, so then followed him every fight and hes such a cool guy man i hate that people turned on him, every great fighter had controversy so for doing like 1 or 2 things that people dislike doesnt mean give the guy death threats and publicly hate the guy he represents us here in the UK and our fans can be the avsolute best or the absolute worst but youll all miss him when hes gone, we are on top.. could be worse and have no heavyweights, this guys ppv gave me some brilliant nights and memories man so love our fighters while they are here man get behind them not against them
I agree with every think you said . I've been a fan of aj for nearly 12 years I love watching the Olympics even the para Olympics .
Anthony Joshua robbed his Olympic gold. He lost two of his 4 fights against Erislandy Savon and Cammerelli
He reps Nigeria apparently and is a racist towards ethnic Brits
Let’s say a prayer for all the sick and disabled, the lonely and elderly, those who don’t have anything, who are of good heart, let alone have the luxury to speak out their minds in front of cameras while getting paid for it.
The best AJ❤
A fantastic interview. AJ was so relaxed
Absolute legend. Hope he wins this won, it'd be historic. Then we'd get AJ vs Fury 🔥 🔥. A true fairtale fight
You don’t even believe that… let the best man win
What great questions, also you can see power in this interview, Joshua is great he will go down in history as one of the greatest. His heart and head is special. He's a great role model even in his character. He's the peoples champion and champion of the underdogs becuase the amount of criticism he faced and still stood tall.
A true champion , A true legend , you've inspired a lot. Victory is your as you take on Ngannou March 8. Though it wouldn't be easy but you are the chosen one AJ. Ngannou is the chosen one in MMA not boxing. Stick to your plan and be smart Champ!✌🏾
💯Quality, great attitude great fighter simple as that cheers 👍👊
Earpod in 24/7 😂
If he signs a contract..he represents it 💯
That’s not what it’s called
@@kroxx2 Does he have a sponsorship deal with them?
@@utkarsh2746 everything he wears does . His the ultimate business man in boxing.. that's why U don't see him wearing flashy suits.everything is deal
He’s getting paid, use your common sense.
Fantastic interview...let's go AJ!!! 💪
This is one of the pyschologically deep interviews full of deep shit and no bullshit.
He seems like a really sweet person, wishing Josh a lot of success, let's go big man🙌
Cringe
I love AJ he’s a great role for everyone
Great role model and is a racist
Legend
Great interview....can't wait for fight night
One of the few true champs he doesn't duck he doesn't quit and let the losses define him he is a true champ
Zhang called him out. He didn't even reply
aj beat zhang already mate @@MorningWoodFairy
Zhang isn't a top heavyweight he only beat joyce who let's be honest anyone who knows anything about boxing knows joyce also wasn't a top heavyweight as soon as someone who knows how to box fights him he crumbles because he just relied on having a chin as zhang proved aj did beat him already plus aj has said atleast twice before he will fight zhang but it isn't in his current plans as it won't get him closer to the usyk trilogy or the fury fight which is what he wants. Just because you can't be honest and give someone the credit they deserve doesn't mean aj ducked him aj is by far the best heavyweight of this era his resume speaks for itself by far the best heavyweight get over it hater
Is that all you got, hater? 😂😅😂@@matt.a792
@@MorningWoodFairy lol is that what I said erm no I think he deserves another title shot just based on the work he has done reviving the heavyweight division and boxing in uk in reality and ideally not against usyk yet because I think he need more time with Ben before a trilogy with usyk but he definitely deserves it if fury manages to win nothing to do with ngannou but if ngannou is good enough for fury to fight then there is a argument that since he embarrassed fury if aj beats him why shouldn't he get another title shot of the back of it as I said he is by far the best heavyweight we have had took the hardest challenges out of any of the champs of this era except the great usyk who also doesn't duck like fury and wilder did but like I said you are just a hater probably because you have never achieved anything in life so you can't help but hate people that have achieved something Parker will embarrass zhang and then what will you say know aj needs to face Parker even though he beat him as well. Look I can admit I would like zhang to get big fights he kinda deserves it but nothing you say will convince me aj should divert from becoming a 3 time champ just to prove haters wrong he could fight zhang instead of ngannou and then people like you will say something like oh well he didn't fight joyce or dubois or someone else who hasn't Don half of what aj has so regardless he will get haters hating sadly that is the world we live in break people down instead of build them up just another hater hating
Let's go Champ
Great inspiration💯 👊🏾
Two UK boxing legends right there!
💯
Anthony joshua ain't loyal to UK. He said racist things about Brits
Aj What A Legend dodges no fighter definitely a throwback fighter can’t wait too see him get his belts back soon⏳💯
Don’t really like Costello on commentary, but he was really good here. AJ seemed to enjoy it and open up
Anthony will do the job.
What a beautiful relaxed interview,
Mike Costello using the photos was an amazing idea, enjoyed this interview so much,
Looking forward to fight 👏👏👏
yess AJ, The Champ
Beautiful souls
Appreciate the man before the man has gone
Both AJ and Ngannou are great people, inspirations. I really like both guys being a fan of boxing and MMA. This is a monstrous fight two heavy hitters someone has gotta lose unfortunately. Just gonna enjoy the fight I’ll be both happy and sad .
Wicked interview come on AJ you can do it mate!
A great athlete and a good role model for sure
He’s a racist
Wow😮~ what a legend, classy and intelligent Champion Aj is.Sadly many have misunderstand the heart of a champion, overlooking integrity, purpose assuming it’s about always been on top yet life has ups and downs~ so it’s about overcoming yourself and adversity, winning the war within and rising each time you fall..as Aj has depicted many times at times against unjustified hate~ Blessings to Aj 🙏🏾
You have gat to ❤ him...
No one can deny that AJ put UK boxing back on the map, he deserves more respect than what he gets. People will miss him when hes not competing
Irishman talking about what he knows about UK boxing? Behave and get some fighters instead of watching ours
@michaelrb9837 since I've boxed and sparred top level fighters in UK for many years I'd say I know alot more than you little Michael.
@@bxing85 Yeah sure you do your a internet warrior I’d spank you and take your spuds
@@bxing85 Making up lies and come fight MMA you’ll tap like a chicken
@@bxing85 You like getting beat on by English lads 🤫😂
AJ has brought so many people to the sport of boxing and revived the heavyweight devision. Even with Fury and Wilder already being there, the division was dead. I only got interested in boxing when I first saw an AJ highlight video right after his Klitschko fight. Boxing fan for life now. AJ is a special dude. Real definition of a scholar athlete - Plato: "a man of thought and a man of action".
AJ is a national treasure appreciate him
Respectful persons ❤
AND THE NEW !!!!
Quality interview
Mygggg Aj 🔥💯🤫
AJ has had his ups and downs in everyone’s opinion but despite his loses he has pushed on and built himself back up and is looking back on form. 99% of people would of given up after the losses he had. True champ.
Great interview! AJ is a very wise man! Let's go AJ 🥊
Brilliant presentation 👏
It's been an incredible run so far for AJ, and it ain't over yet. The UK fans need to appreciate AJ more because when he is gone, he's gone. They'll see the impact he had then on the UK boxing scene.
Real talk
We don’t appreciate racists who aren’t even from Britain. That’s why all his fans are Nigerians not Brits
He’s a racist why would we appreciate a African whose racist towards ethnic Brits
Why would we support racists
Lol. Thats how we know him. Genuine guy that means well 👏
12:49 should be great fight saudi 🇸🇦 AJ ,🇬🇧🤝
Good luck champ
AJ
Letsss gooo Champ !!!
Yess
AJ all day
AJ seems more relaxed than ever, maybe he doesn't feel like he has to be a certain way around the camera's.
Suits him 👍
Go on AJ, win Francis Ngannou, go for undisputed.
You deserve it bro, Given plenty to the sport and the fans.👍
Ngannou is coming for you AJ. You had better run. 😊
AJ is the peoples champion 🏆
No
Its crazy the hate this man gets from the casual boxing fans, a man who turned his life around before he went down an even worse path, who worked his arse off day in day out for years in an attempt to become successful dosnt deserve hate in my eyes, you dont have to rate him as fighter, everyone has the right to like or dislike someones style or not believe theyre as good as others do but you cant say hes not turned into a genuine decent man, in my eyes hes the epitome of how a role model and champion should conduct himself 99% of the time.
A role model
Indeed
costello's a boss !
The greatest.
❤
AJ seems more relaxed.
12:46 they really did him dirty there.
I think we are going to see a great fight, hopefully AJ wins, but ya never know.
AJ is a G. I prefer Tyson as a character especially when he’s just being himself. But I respect AJ much more as a fighter, he’s tried to do things the right way his whole career
U can't be reall if u dislike AJ
He’s a racist
I dislike racists so we can
Brother, please just win.
🥊
Win or lose AJ for life
10 out of 10.
Whats with this music 😂
💚💚💚💚
AJ is from The Yoruba Tribe,In Nigeria.🇳🇬I get the fact that he flags for Great Britain,But If he losses against Ngannou,i hope you guys won't start talking bullocks on his Name!?😁 Seems he is one of you as long as he keeps winning.
Also this Interview seem like a Motivational therapy session...Which is a Good thing because he is going to need it in this Bout.
If he loses to the 37year old 0-1 novice Ngannou, It's quite embarrassing for him
@@MorningWoodFairythat's your opinion but the reality says otherwise. Fury almost lost against Ngannou. AJ losing Ngannou would just prove what we all knew all along that Ngannou is legit and Fury is the better boxer of the 2
AJ is a quitter and he’s British and waves the Union Jack not crappy Nigerian one
@@michaelrb9837 Clearly he is loved as long as he keeps winning 😄
@@prolific101 He only wins against old washed up 40yr olds otherwise when he stepped up to elite he lost. Barely beat a old Klitchko after getting put down. Got knocked out by a taco eater and lost to USYk with ease twice. Usyk was robbed of a stoppage in the first fight as they cut the timer short. AJ team had the towel ready. AJ has also beaten 0 champions he’s only won vacant titles
Aj insan ve kisilik olarak iyi.. samimi ve korkusuz..☝️🇹🇷🕌🕋✌🏾☝🏾🤟🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾
The Landlord 🏆🏆🏆🏆🫡
The quitter
Connor McGregor is living life to its fullest capacity?! Life's stock just plummeted a long way.
Love AJ but man AJ loves mafia lifestyle man 😂😂
Hope he makes it to 3 time champ and rides off on his horse into the sunset.. he tries hard and has suffered losses along the way
WE WANT THAT THREE TIME TOP TO COME OUT PLEASE 🙏
British bum
Aj will show his lvls on Friday and then destiny awaits
Spencer X in his ear 25/8
I feel like these top fighters were dodging each other for years. Nobody wanted to see another Mike Tyson fighting outside his prime or another Manny and Mayweather out their prime.
These guys were playing business and picking and choosing. Ruiz and now Francis shook up their little party.
Now fans can get what they want.
In a way boxing needed this..
because heavyweights were always the highlight of boxing..
Love AJ. A future hall of famer
A.J praying for your win,INSHALLA its wil be yours
Fury fans gonna be up in arms again next week when aj cleans up another of furys ex oppenents who gave him a hard time.. team Aj
Frank Bruno was a World Champion, even if it was breif.
He beat Oliver McCall.
Lennox Lewis too, unless I misheard the question.😊
In all my years I have never seen such cringeworthy music and atmosphere to an interview of a boxer.
You've obviously come to hate watch. Have a day off you loser
💯❤️👊
That’s because your a depressed MEHHHHH
@ReginaldEdisonJR well AJ is cringeworthy so what else can we expect, I’m sick and tired of his same old story same old song.
Why does AJ always have one earpod in? I wonder what he's listening to, all the time.
Can’t wait see him get Ko
Lions afraid of the rats....AJ philosophy strikes again.
Once AJ beats Usyk . I wouldn't want to be remembered as could have been if it wasn't for Usyk. Good luck for Francis fight your going to nèd it. Sorry AJ I've put £100 on Francis to knock you out in the 7th round.
He has to beat a big name before he deserves another title shot.
I'm cringing already
Then don’t watch 😂🤡
Yet you watch 😂
Cry more! Want a mug to catch your tears?
Shuuush
U Pufter 😂 Why u clenching ✊️ Yr batty now ,u let it loose most of the week ?
Big shocks coming AJ and Tyson fury to loose there respectful fights
AJ talking himself into another upset
AJ is better than Mohammed Ali
😂😂🤡cmon even AJ wouldn’t say that!
Haha
Alkol mu aldın sen aptal..☝️🦾🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🕌🕌🕌🕋🕋
You still got time to delete this comment before too many people see this
Don't take the piss I'm a fan of aj but he no where as gifted as Ali.
