Love this type of AJ,...nothing but respect to him.
Let's get it Anthony Joshua
nicest/coolest guy. The Brits are very lucky to have him
Bloody good Q&A …….
AJ seems very happy……….. think he is going to be very dangerous
very. they have footage of francis boxing now and I hope Francis goes hard
You will be disappointed after Ngannou will still be standing after 10 rounds

@@zakariahanaffi9641 open your eyes the whole Africa is rooting for Ngannou expect Nigeria
Lmao indeed, real happyish.
Leads cynical me 2 believe it's been rigged and Anthony can return uninjured.
Should he be bitten by a rabid dog he would be dangerous.
AJ just needs to be himself and use those boxing tools and physicality that makes him different. He has the abilities to redeem himself from whatever challenges put before him. Francis is a tough fighter, but no man is unbeatable. Two good dudes going against each other, the one who is suppose to win will be victorious....
True. But let's put it this way: if Joshua wins, it will be the normal outcome. He is supposed to win. He is a good boxer and a world champ, fighting again a man from another sport (ufc)who was said to be too slow to box. But if Ngannou wins, it will be a surprise. An upset as they used to say. Meaning that Joshua will have let himself get surprised by a powerful shot by Ngannou.
@@greatbaba5072yeah it would be surprising but not that surprising based on how well he did against fury. U could have gave him that win & that would have been more surprising.
Francis wont give up
Yes but it's excuting watching how AJ rebuilt himself and has taken on all comers throughout his career. We had that surprise with the Ruiz slip up and Ngannou is 2 fights in so he can still bounce back, fight more names for a payday, and then become champ in less than 10 fights.
It is definitely better for Boxing that Joshua wins and even combat sports in general. Then we can see AJ vs Fury which people have wanted for years. Maybe that would give Ruiz the motivation to stop being inactive and fight Ngannou where he might earn his 10 million desired payday.

@@themightydragon710Understood, but getting caught negates that.
All the media ask the same questions, AJ schools em like a pro
AJ seriously grown on me in the past couple of years he’s a warrior and I think he gets the job done Saturday night. 👊 good luck champ
Friday
@@FM19964you daddy lost
@@FM19964 what happened bro 😂👊
Mygggg Aj 🔥💯🤫
Some boxing fans didn't pay much mind to the fact that Ngannou started his combat sports journey with boxing, but switched up to MMA, wherein he got noticed and went on a rampage in UFC. It's not like his camp for and fight against Fury was his first experience of boxing or training for boxing.
Meanwhile, AJ continues to express strength, poise and respect, which is something I appreciate. He and Ngannou both exude quiet, but towering strength. They are both good lads, both in the best shape possible, and the fight promises to be a real barn burner. I'd prefer AJ to win, but I'd be happy either way and am just really looking forward to seeing it all go down.
Hope he wins
Joshua dont talk too much just focus and fight. When you talk too much you loose. I have noticed this about you. Focus man!
He is doing media obligations. What are you going on about?
Exxxxactly hes letting these people round him hype him toooo much
That's called selling a fight. You got a lot to learn
@@MorningWoodFairy who doesnt know he has media obligations dummy...what hes saying dumbo is that joshua is over thinking and I agree..he can talk but he doesnt need to be over thinking and over analysing nonsense
Media duties are part of the fight, they are the promotion of it….Sheesh !
That garage music is pretty good.
Time stamp?
@@MorningWoodFairy I looked it up on CZcams
@@FrankLowe88 try ' sweet female attitude - flowers' or Artful Dodger
@@MorningWoodFairy This is amazing, reminds me of jersey club music but smoother.
Reppin AJ for life. AJ will be 3x world champion💯✍️
A.j looking into the soul of francis like i can see your fears hidden behind that shades
Its fine to be an aj fanboy, but don’t talk nonsense. Even aj said he knows Francis is fearless when it comes to fighting
I don't think a guy like Nganou who's faced death countless times in his life since childhood is scared in a boxing competition. C'mon man, the hubris on you to make this comment.. smh 🤦🏽♂️
@@techsupport6684as a AJ fan, the Cameroon/Congo is the real deal
😂 you better delete your comment Ngannou fears no one
😂😂😂😂😂 yeah okay
Came in camo' the mans ready for war lol
Love the suits' contrast, olympic world class vs funky jungle commando
I always hope the underdog puts up a good fight and maybe lands a good shot and takes the win.
That being said, I fear Francis will brush off Anthonys best shot.
You understand fam, peace.
They call N’Gannou “arrogant” now that he shows confidence, while AJ and Fury have huge, fragile ego’s but that’s all ok because they’re Brits 😂
AJ is that Dude!
AJ on skill😅🎉
🎉
Big respect to AJ this is to to nite
🎉
You gotta get to the 7th8th9th …….
He's confident about the Ngannou fight...but unlike Fury, not overconfident and knows he needs to prepare because Ngannou actually does have legit boxing skills. The idea that Ngannou couldn't box was false, he started out in boxing when he was 12 yrs. old in his home country. He just hasn't honed those skills against elite boxing talent so his skills are journeyman at best. That was evident in the Fury bout but Fury hadn't trained properly and was not in top shape like he should have been. Even a journeyman boxer can be dangerous to a great champ who doesn't prepare properly. Remember that Leon Spinks beat Muhammad Ali, Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson, Renaldo Snipes nearly knocked out Larry Holmes. Common factor in all those fight were complacent champs who thought they could mail in wins against opponents that were supposed to present them no challenge. Instead they found themselves in dogfights.
AJ won't be unprepared, he knows he can outbox Ngannou but needs to be 100% sharp because Ngannou has power and a great chin which makes him dangerous even though his skill level isn't what AJ's is.
Fight goes the distance with AJ taking the decision using footwork, movement and the jab to walk Ngannou around the ring picking him apart. Fury should have done the same but thought Ngannou couldn't box at all and didn't think he needed to train and have a strategy.
Has he lost before, theres the blue print but it was against stipe who wrestler him and vs lewis he was afraid to throw over the Stipe fight ..Still think Aj should win comfortably
I think he also meant the loss to fury
@@neba2116ahhh yeah maybe I am wrong but I don't think personally that Fury showed the blue print of how to beat him . Was close fight
@@darren1989 he did once he realised he was better, once fury started using boxing fundamentals he was winning the rounds
@@thelegendarydeikay3071you clueless Fury started winning rounds because Ngannou was getting tired. Fury showed no blueprints whatsoever and to think that Ngannou will not improve from this fight it’s clearly being delusional
@@FM19964so what improvements did you see😅
How on earth some body should assume AJ will fall to France ngonor it will be one sided fight AJ all through
AwiththatbeingsaidJ
Great fighter Aj, the memory of being a gold Olympian will carry him through ✨
Ask Roberto Cammarelle what he thinks about it
Memories don't win fight. Be logical with ur statement
@@jideakindejoye3999statement was very logical😅😅
It takes all the hype out of the event when you just know that in a real fight AJ & Tyson are mince meat😂
Francis smashed that cringe fury up and got robbed 😂😂
Having watched heavyweight boxing for so many decades now, I don't think much of this weak heavyweight era at all and hope Francis keeps on doing great and wins this one.
02: 55 i'm not lucid enough to comment that one but tomorrow i will incha Allah. Anyway, the journalist wants that fight to look like an Africa vs Africa fight, where some africans will come to hate some other africans. See what i mean ? But tomorrow , i hope to come out with a more lucid and transparent coment incha Allah
Bro talking like he about to retire.
He looks like a patient in a psychiatric ward
A millionaire patient. You hope you're that kind of patient right 😂.
@@fesocanmanBrilliant response from you!
Cheers
😂 you need to chill
Respect to Joshua for taking on an improved Ngannou. Terrifying
I think Anthony Joshua can finanly get Ngannou out of the boxing picture,I think because he is vastly more experienced and very athletic and much more in shape that Tyson Fury although Tyson has better ring craft,I think Joshua has the all around skills and physicality to quickly knock out Ngannou.
Joshua wing stop Francis dude is to tough
No man born of a woman can KO Francis
out of the boxing picture? he's had 1 fight
This comment will age like milk. Be a man and don't delete it after the fight
There is 0% chance Francis doesn't land a hook or uppercut, like Frank says: "it doesn't get any better than this". AJ's like an innocent cow on the processing conveyor
Ngannou ko
AJJJJJJJ
Nice little cross promotion here, nice.
ngannou was a boxedr first he even said he never heard of mma before until he was 24 years old but at he was part of camaron olympic team
Cameron doesn’t have a Olympic team. Stop making stuff up and go listen to Francis story. Francis didn’t start boxing until he started training mma
AJ is finished if he takes to many bombs from Ngannou
AJ you had your time as champion you lost that except it move on your going to get hurt really bad. Make sure you have your pillow your going to need iti think Ngannou already has your tombstone ready for you how nice is that of Ngannou.🙏🤔😂
Oh dear just shows how much you don't know.. AJ made him look like a bum .. who is Chinny now? Oh the Ruiz fight took his sole, oh AJ looks scared 😂😂 if Ruiz took AJ soul ... Ngannou not coming back from that humiliating defeat.. you can now say ngannou has no chin or gee ngannou is very Chinny.. AJ nearly killed him!!! Lucky AJ brought him his pillow to share😂
Fighting a non boxer and he will still get beat
😂 KO 2..
Worst mistake of AJ's professional career....
He took a risk, that too , against The predator!!!
Predator via KO..
It hurts now doesn't it. Pays to be objective and not live vicariously through your hero.. ngannou looked like a bum and shows the difference between boxing and MMA... Night and day.. we all knew fury had a crap night because he is lazy.. and can't punch.. AJ different kettle of fish, which Francis learnt the hard way.. over confidence is😢 blinding
ALOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THAT THOSE TWO COUNTRIES YOU TO BE ONE .AT THAT TIME IT USE TO BE CALL NIGERIA AND THE CAMEROON Before it was divided during colonial times.
he's a bum
LOL, boxer now it suits him. They all called the Fury fight out as a joke, AJ reverts to what he knows best...money. I hope Ngannou takes him out.
Frank would say: "you talk bullocks"...I say when you can't milk the cow anymore, send it on the processing conveyor
Hope he loses 😂
I hope he doesn't die
Bad luck
Joshua is winning this hands down round 5 nganou will fall.
he'll struggle to KO Ngannou, other than that AJ is gona be schooling him
@@jmarsh5485yeah AJ really struggled😅
@mikeypc3592 lol. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. What I want to know is did you bookmark my message to come back to lol, or do live in such a youtube silo that you watch out of date videos?
To Joshua
