He was furious at himself, upset, happy for usyk, annoyed at his critics, and so many more emotions. And all of that was being spilled at once. All he needed was a shoulder to cry on and then someone to talk to in private before he spoke to the world. The guy is human
AJ just couldn't take the lose at the end of the fight. All fighters who lose get emotional and all that. AJ took that to another level. Unprofessional what he did when the fight was over.
Just reading the comments is enough to tell you why he snapped! He is so disrespected by the British public it's unreal.
Great analysis
💯💯
@@Theemptythroneistaken Exactly.
When you're WINNING everyone is your friend, when you lose you feel by yourself.
Facts
Rightly said 💯👌👌✅
Yeah but that’s not the end of the world if you know yourself. AJ doesn’t. That’s why he melted down a bit.
I never liked AJ.
He is very feel
Will never know the pain or anxiety felt by a fighter. From the small gyms to the big stage, every person who steps into the ring has my respect.
“Show them where it hurts, abstain from spending your money in their shops and economies, and invest in black-owned businesses."
This was the day I stopped supporting Joshua.
Dillian Whyte warned for years that we were not seeing the real Joshua.
He gave a good account of himself and left everything he had in the ring. Unfortunately for him, he simply was defeated by the better fighter.
On another night he may have landed a knockout blow.
No shame in losing to Usyk.
I understand he is only human but he let himself down after the fight.
Was clear to see AJ gave it his best shot.
Respect,at lot of people including me haven't done it,big difference to having a tear up with your drink mates.
Even Philip Scofield ?
Charlie Zelenof?
@@HolyRollerTV we all have melt downs in life and this guy needs his true friends right now !
This dude is melting down before our eyes. He should not have taken the mic after the fight. That was Usyk’s moment.
nor his flag.
Well he did release did you not hear the press conference!
@@bigheadedm hopefully that’s the end of it.
@@williamcoachg3228 Joshua would batter you lol. You can't beat any of the guys he beat you're a keyboard warrior lol
@@williamcoachg3228 wilder said otherwise. Just check what wilder said about aj fight. Before saying nonsense could done some research. This guy didn't duck fury too. By the way am not aj or fury fan but, some who admire boxing.
This looks like a broken man. When you've worked your absolute crazy best at trying to achieve something and to be the best, especially at something you believe is your calling in life, and it still isn't good enough, it breaks a man's soul in ways most won't understand. I hope he heals and finds new meaning in his life after this. God speed Anthony
Exactly ... I personally , don't like him ..never have ! But he has absolutely NOTHING to be ashamed of ! He has achieved an incredible amount. ! OK..he is not unbeatable and has faults , but he has lost to once in a generation talent , and secured his and his families future . I hope he walks away from boxing now and can find a new purpose in life , with his profile and charisma he could do so much outside of the sport ,
He believed all the yes men telling him he was too tired and is now devastated at the realisation he's just a top ten fighter
Couldn’t of said it any better myself, people love to hate tho that’s life..
Chucking somebody Belts out the ring, then having a hissy fit on the mic! nothing to be embarrassed about..... 🤦🏽♂️
@@christophergallagher3845 top 3 fury , usyk than wilder/Joshua 👍
I love how Eddie gives so much support to AJ , like to a son. Great words of support and appreciation. I applaud that.
Respects to Joshua, Usyk and every single boxer. Boxing is not a sport, you are putting your life on the line every single time against a skilled opponent who is physically capable of killing you with a couple well placed blows. You have my respect for what you do and the thrilling entertainment it provides us armchair fans.
Look at him now 🔥🔥
True
Well said.
He is back 💪🏻
He's still a bum and always will be.
@@Liverpool1nehe was never gone. The guy is a shithouse bum.
Fair play to Eddie for stepping in with his speech, true respect.
😂😂
100 million reasons for that don't be this naive
When he said about people having easy fights talking about fury..... think he’s forgot the trilogy with wilder after a mad few years outthe game on the gear etc he’s a helmet
That’s because he is in his underpants lol
Well done Eddie for sticking up for your fighter with compassion and humility
Dopey lapdog
Eddie was one of the reason's of Joshua's mental collapse.Tried to make Joshua some humble gentleman
Joushua is a wasteman should stick to fighting wannabes like himself crybaby joshua
@UCVLRZK8_718Ljy71QQqaKBw josuh is broken and just a wannabe should stay humble and stop fighting i hate him for what he did in the ring disgusting stop promoting the fake luckszade model
He had to do that 😂 what choice did he have
That was me asking the question to AJ before he broke down in tears- I've interviewed AJ many times- he is always respectful and does a lot outside of the ring that people rarely speak about.
Did it make you feel like a big man?
Thanks for that info, Antoine. Sometimes we forget that famous people are just that- people. Joshua put it all on the line and lost a great fight. It's understandable, but not excusable, what he did in the aftermath. A few minutes of idiocy on his part shouldn't erase all the good he has done for his fans over the years.
I dont think anyone can say he didn't give his all and everyone said he put in a performance the after fight rant only he knows what that was all about I dont doubt he's a good guy but the lasting legacy of that fight will be that rant which is unfortunate for him because he put in a shift.
And?
@@dannyboyc3po be quite Danny
Coming back here now to see how he’s turned things around I was never an AJ fan ever but I’ve. Become a massive one now humble nice bloke what you see is what you get I hope he goes on too finish his career strong defeating fury and another few good wins under his belt 🎉 big up AJ
Boxing is a hard sport. Soo much we don't see from the training, the business, the politics and time away from loved ones, the media schedule etc... It's brutal
So true we don’t see what happens behind the scenes in training camp an gym 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🙌🥊
At this level they are paid more than enough to deal with this.
@@bartman01021988 Money can’t heal that
@@gck9437 how would you know that unless you're rich
The greats recognise this, and weaponise it to use against their opponents
Tears or not.. these guys are both 100% warriors, they trained & fought with everything they got for all the fans all around the world. My biggest respect goes to both AJ & Usyk. Thank you for this world class boxing fight!
It takes a strong man to get into a ring in front of millions of people
Well said sir , they both give it their all .
He’s a warrior
The problem with AJ is that he disrespected Usyk by throwing his bels to the ground instead of congratulated him.
@@Carlos-sr8km that’s very true! He did well I just hope he doesn’t give up
Good speech by Eddie, you can see he genuinely cares about Joshua.
There’s no crying in boxing!
This is actually a blessing for him, It's humanized him more than winning would have.
💯
Hopefully he is truly humble enough to listen to some of his critics.
Grabbing the mic and preaching to the auditorium and millions watching on TV while the man who actually won the fight had to stand behind him patiently, waiting humbly to talk about his victory, is straight out narcissism. Ego, ego, ego. Even in the moment of defeat it was all about AJ. Crass.
@@Ukedc259 That was AJ having a mental breakdown in real-time. We should cut him a bit of slack
@@jesussuarez1011 someone else in the ring just defended their title and I cut him some slack too. He had his moment stolen because AJ chose to meltdown in public in the ring. He can say all that stuff about his life and journey at the post fight press conference. I hope he is ok and wish him well but if all we do is throw a blanket over people who are struggling with failure in competitive sports we devalue the win and rob the winner of their moment. That matters too.
Huge respect to AJ from Kyiv, Ukraine!
What a great human being and what an amazing fighter he is.
Anthony, emotions is ok, don't worry about that, we are the people.
Thank you for supporting Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!
Wishing you guys all the best! ❤️
@@instinctzuk8671 You peple are deluded. Ukraine is lead by NAZI's. Glory to the people yes. Glory to Ukraine NO.
That was lovely 🥺🥺🥺
@@swiftlessytvlogs5637 thank you 🙏
You can not imagine how important this is to us
I felt emotional between 3:47 and 3:53 when he said "trust me damn bro" while breathing heavily. You can grasp the heavy toll he is carrying inside. When you work for an objective and you were close to make it and it doesn't materialise.... Anthony we are proud of you. You showed the world that men have feelings, is acceptable to show fragility. Good luck champ!!!
delusional
He said some other things but they cut it
@@lp.shakur lol
Its hard for a guy with AJ's gifts to be humbled but he was. Usyk is the most disciplined and stable of all of the heavyweights mentally. He's the alpha despite 'only' being 6'3.
Errol Spence got demolished to blood in front of the whole world and still kept standing and had class and most of all, respected the winner! AJ was a sore loser!!! I’m a martial artist and I understood at a very young age that you can’t win them all!! He needs his ego checked and although he won tonight, he’ll get that 🥊 again! It happens
Boxing the noble art. Brave people. Respect.
When you're winning everyone is your friend, when you lose you feel by yourself. Aj has had a major break down. Get back to basics and play to your strengths and come back stronger. Big up bro.
Respect to Usyk as well. All the stuff he has had to deal with this year as well.
Good morning
Brake down lol
If he loses another fight he's gonna be fighting Deji next
@@Tyson13797 definitely a break down and clearly has mental health problems this isn’t the first strange thing
Nah, he's been professionally embarrassed too many times, and now the cry baby routine, he can never again be taken seriously as a fighter, time he retired me thinks.
I have to say I understand Joshua's strange display after the fight, those training camps are insane, he must have trained his heart out for this, all the pressure these guys have to keep in it's crazy it must take a toll on their mental health, he is only human and his emotions got the better of him no disgrace whatsoever. Best of luck to Joshua and congratulations to Usyk.
Yeh, never mind how disrespectful it was to guy that actually won. AJ strutted around in there preaching before Usyk uttered a single syllable. So crass. Has he even apologised?
@@Ukedc259 Yh aj went back to the ring and shook usyks hands and apologised and congratulated usyk and made the crowd chant and cheer for him
@@badmanshakif6216 yeh - that was just patronising I thought. Imagine Deontay Wilder grabbing the mic after his fight with Fury and telling the crowd to respect the victor because gee, he must have trained hard. Presumptuous and arrogant to say the least. Let the guy who won get a word out before preaching at least.
He got paid. That is all professional sportsmen care about
@@Ukedc259 you're missing the point we all know he shouldn't have done what he did
I grew alot of respect for AJ after watching this. He seems like a really good decent man. Well done to Usyk and also AJ because I saw the difference between his 1st and 2nd fights with Usyk and I saw AJ definitely improved.
Don't give up man, the word needs heroes. You are a good example to young generations.
What? He’s a horrible example. The way he behaved after that fight was one of the most obnoxious narcissistic classless tantrums I’ve ever seen.
Never a split decision, Usyk won hands down. AJ was better than before but still a way behind Usyk. Roll on Fury. AJ got domestic fights which will do good business plus chuck Wilder in and see how good he really is. That chin will be tested.
Yup. Just like the first fight, both had their moments, but it was clear which one had the superiority in terms of overall hits and performance.
I think they did it for suspense lol I was thinking it must be all 116-112 usyk
Some crazy card scores, the Saudi's defo had judges on the take
Good point!
Usyk showed why he was better in round 10 11 12 he was a level above aj. His boxing is beautiful to qatch
Those moments in life when you want something so badly and don't achieved it. It's when you fall in a deep hole and are depressed. Those moments that make you stronger and wiser afterwards.
I wish you alle the best AJ, things going to be better.
Yep. I hope AJ can get up and get those belts back.
@@ribblevalleyrover yes he was a bit out of order. Not the best behaviour expected from him and not how a defeated one should accept their loss, but i think he cracked at that point. All the pressure, the negative opinions, the expectations... it can do anyone in .I dont believe he meant any geniune disrespect towards usyk. AJ was just confused, upset and angry all at the same time
We are all human beings, we make mistakes driven by emotions, we say things driven by anger, that's something everyone experienced.
Things we regret after the adrenaline leven is back to normal.
That's that moment where you have to flick and fill the cracks of the armor of your character, thats where growing begins.
That's a lesson in life, take the lesson be humble and be a better person afterwards, that's what all is about.
AJ will learn from this life lesson. I which him the best.
Also congrats to Usyk
look at him now
Hold your head up AJ. Your dedication and passion is evident. You are a global champion a hero. From grass to Grace. We are so proud of you son. 🫶🏽😍👏🏽
Always love to see people like you AJ. You still have a lot left to come back stronger in sport again. I'm sure you can get the title again sir. Heads up and move foward. Everyone makes mistakes in life. The real champion never quit. Best luck on your next fight.
He won’t see this so let’s just pretend I’m aj. Thanks mate I appreciate it
@@Dtthftm Ah? hehe🤣🤣🤣
I'm not a fan of AJ never have been, but seeing him in tears... It hurts a little, the tears were about something much bigger than just losing. It's crazy, I wish him the best, and hope he comes back with a good win
Oh you was a wilder fan
As if we wasn’t told to do that 🙄
@@jakeleez6945 no.... I'm really not a wilder fan🤣🤣 Tyson fury all day! Been a fan for 7 solid years
@@trick_show9469 nah defo a wilder fan
@@jakeleez6945 although I do believe wilder will spark AJ all night, so don't expect to see that fight till AJ is ready to retire
Feel sorry for him here, I’m not a fan of AJ but you can’t deny he put his heart and soul into it. We’ve all tasted loss whether it be professionally or personally it’s hard and it hurts like hell. Good luck to him, take some time off and enjoy those millions 😎.
Can't feel sorry at all. This is who he actually is and the rest was hearn and an image consultant
@@fucker661 I hope u are a perfect in everything u do no flaw??🙄
@Luke Stephens oh boo hoo grow a pair of balls lol. don't need to speak on behalf of Usyk he has actual balls.
He’s Usyk’s girlfriend now x
@Luke Stephens Hi Luke, I wanted Usyk to win and I’m very glad he did, I feel it was important for him and the people of Ukraine. I’m purely speaking as man who’s experienced loss, albeit in a different form I can understand his breakdown in the post fight presser. For the record I don’t agree with his antics on the mic either, so I’m in agreement with you.
We all love u as a great boxer. You should be proud, and hold you're head up high.
AJ is in so much pain, listen he got emotional and lost it at the end of fight but you still have to have nothing but respect for this man for his overall career.
Times like this you see who really sticks by you, hope he recovers from this
I don’t respect him after that. He behaved dishonorably and childishly. He’s a joke.
Get a grip.
@@charliehmi76 shut up
@@MaximusWolfe cmon it's ok if he's not your cup of tea, but calling him a joke is a bit over the top.
I'd like to see many of us being critical about the man be put in that same situation with the same circumstances + pressures and see if we don't crack as well
@@tinogustiniani6163 He threw the Belts out the ring and took Usyk’s flag and draped it over his shoulders.
Just as Eddie said, he showed raw emotion at the height of the event. People saying he showed his true colours. The guy is very upset and from looking at it, he wasn't sure how to react. The guy is actually a good guy. To be a good guy from where he's come from is a fight within himself. All he is asking of people is some respect.
Finally I see someone who has a brain and understands
It was hard to watch and a shame but I agree, every person here commenting has probably had moments in their life where they could have handled a situation better or acted in a similar way.
Real talk
Same thing I thought. The guy was clearly just overwhelmed with emotions. He's showed numerous times he's a good person and a warrior.
He is asking for respect but not giving any.
This is sad man. Even after how far he's gone in his career he still thinks he's a failure. I hope he finds happiness.
In terms of what he set out to achieve he is a failure not to us but to himself he wanted to be unified heavyweight champ and he’s not done that nor will he ever be able to now and it’s the fights he thought where “easy” that have him the most trouble. I like AJ but he’s his own worst enemy he was in this fight for the majority of it but didn’t go up a gear had a good round late on but Usyk came back 10 times his hand coordination is just different gravy. Aj be humble your a multi millionaire and a name in the sport enjoy it
@@gregordrizzlewing7339 exactly 👏
He is a failure though
@@kingston2411 not a failure at life though. Rich, healthy, young. He’ll be fine if he doesn’t let his emotions dampen him.
His self-worth is tied up into his sporting achievements...
He just admitted he DIDNT leave everything in the ring…. Well done joshua! Usyk is a real champion
so what is your point ?
Admitted? it's an excuse. He left everything in the ring, he tried his best.
It takes everything
God bless both the fighters,Aj keep your head up.
“You never lose until you actually give up.”

Bruh aj was just mega disrespectful to usyk, all of this should be about usyk winning, not aj losing, everyone saying “oh aj has so much passion he was just disappointed” it’s not an excuse he lost to the better man on the night, no need for him to throw a tantrum
Cheers for this comment Eddie!
@@unitysnip3zz794 And it will be about Usyk winning but Sky is British so they’re going to focus on AJ that goes without saying
Eddie is raking it in off the back of AJ. Don't give promoters that much respect. Promoters are like leeches.
I feel bad for the brother, fighters go through hell and back. Undoubtable respect for AJ, hope he doesn’t take this to heart for too long. He’s a good guy, when it means a lot and there’s a lot on the line. If it doesn’t go to plan, people will battle emotions in different ways. He’s human, phenomenal fighter.
People have no idea how dedicated and passionate these athletes are, my son has been in the game 19 years British champion ,promoter Frank Warren, he's now just retired, he says the same as joshua, he doesn't want his son going into boxing, it's very good for discipline,keeping kids off the street, once at a high level it's all a different story, but the hard work and pressure and heart ache isn't worth it, and alot of politics go on, from amateurs to Pro is a different ball game, money and politics...Anthony you did amazing and put on that good show for your followers your a champ, any one that gets in the ring is, hold your head high and you weren't on home turf,it always sways the other way
Nice insight to read, there’s a difference between being a sports”fan” and a sports”man”, to be a man of sport is a perspective the ordinary person can’t relate too
It’s a shame the wrong figures politicise a sport that’s about the purest expression of dedication and competition
Thanks to Eddie for standing by him and gave him his credit. He really lifted his spirit.
Respect to Eddie keeping it together & fighting AJs corner when AJ broke down,showed he actually cares about him & it’s not just business/good to see & as for AJ what don’t break a man,make a man
He cares about him as long as he is leeching money off him
What about Hearn's respect towards Usyk. Nobody from SKY, no MC or anyone from team Joshua showed up to Usyk's post fight press conference just because AJ had a meltdown. Hearn and Sky boxing should feel ashamed of themselves for the complete lack of professionalism and respect towards USYK and his team. I know Joshua said some nice things about Usyk but that was just because he'd just had a tantrum and shouted at USYK and his team
@@muz4050 it's amazing that his fans cant just be honest... If any other fighter but AJ did that with the belts, they would've been escorted out by security long before that ridiculous speech.
I’m sorry but Usyk’s footwork was on another level. It was completely masterful
Why apologise? It was. 😂
❤ how Eddie had AJ’s back & spoke PURE TRUTH!
Let us not forget that AJ is a human being. It’s so easy to judge behind your screen without knowing what the person endure. Respect AJ🥊 you are already a LEGEND
So true!
We don't see the behind scenes the blood sweat and tears AJ clearly put everything too it and still couldn't beat usyk just shows what a great boxer usyk is. AJ still a very good good boxer regardless none of us could step in his footstep
Still doesn’t excuse the way he acted almost every boxer has gone through a big loss he ruined usyk’s moment and made it about himself
@@Tom-mc9ts Lol judging people after they’ve been going 36 minutes taking blows to the head and one of the biggest fights in their career. Pathetic.
@@jgooner894 Well said
He's a top 10 fighter , was a bit overhyped right from the start
@@jgooner894 others have lost in same situation and didn't act like a brat the way Joshua did it was super disrespectful to Usyk who also took 36 minutes of punches to the head
Straight up, there are the observers (me) and the athletes in the arena (AJ). My losses are mostly private, his are for the world to see. No one ever wins 100% of the time. The kid is passionate and the losses sting. Some guys just have our number. He trains hard, he seem like a great kid. He will be back. Usyk is just a different beast. I really like Eddie for having AJs back like this.
Rock Marciano never lost.
I agree about Eddie especially - it’s nice to see
So true.
I was always a big Lennox Lewis fan.
I remember years and years ago, staying up to around 3 or 4 in the morning, listening to one of his fights on BBC Five Live (think it was the rematch with Rahman).
After Lewis won, I can remember wanting to feel what Lennox was feeling, the crowd cheering and calling his name, the victorious walk back to his dressing room, the party and celebrations with his team, the congratulations from fellow fighters and celebrities. It must have felt great that night.
I've never done that with any losing fighter - very few of us have - I wonder why?
Maybe if I did, I'd maybe understand why AJ acted that way.
Unless you're Floyd Mayweather
@@EastsideCdaleCastillo 1
This surely wasn´t one of his proudest moments, but i say people should cut him some slack here.
I bet we all have at least one of those moments that we wish didn´t happen, but we didn´t have the whole world watching unlike him.
This sport is his life, his whole life. So having a little meltdown is only human.
He apologized, time to move on imo.
GG to both fighters! 💪
Wtf are you talking about child?
It was a sad moment to see a melt down from joshua. However to many people blowing wind up his arse. Time to employ someone at this level in boxing that can teach him another dimesion of the sport. You cant box everyone the same way. Since loss to ruiz he has lost that confidence of engageing & mixing it in his fights .
No
everything you said is wisdom.
At least Eddie gave him credit he deserves this sport ain't easy
My utmost respect for Eddie. This is what a true promoter is like. Good bless you Eddie.
We love you big AJ...True inspiration
eddie is a beast, the way he managed this interview is astounding, giving joshua time to deal with his feelings but also expressing what joshua is feeling being accurate.
All he did is go on about how great Anthony is like a promoter. Everything he said was meaningless & hollow. We all saw when Black Tony threw Usyk's belts out of the ring.

Good morning
@Jon Don Ah look at MR Perfect here everyone. Jon Don, my man
Come on your a boxer, what's the tears for, just accept he's a better fighter than you
Me too brother
This interview is just so sick, everyone’s egos are non existent and you’re just hearing them speak honestly about themselves and the gratitude they have for themselves, each other and the sport. Incredible
We forget that we’re watching the very best vs the very best in high level sports like this
To go 12 rounds vs Usyk, a guy whuse been training since a kid to be the absolute warrior and fighter he is, you have to be proud of yourself.
He started the sport late and pushed himself to the limits, but respectully came short. Have utmost respect for him he’s always been down to earth, only ever hear good things about him and I remember meeting him outside a london night club once, he was warm and friendly. Even round Watford, burnt oak etc, only hear good things about him
It was a good fight and he did himself proud, no matter what the ego filled, unself aware comments from some ppl will say. We forget we’re watching the best fight against each other, it gives me an appreciation for events like this to remember that.
AJ shouldn’t of took the mic and started waffling, trying to cover his loss. His ego was too much, there was no need to do all that acting. That’s not him, it was just embarrassing to watch tbh
@@jamessmythe1891 Yh ur funny
@@jamessmythe1891 Cola is quite sugary so no doubt that made him hyper.
In life, It sometimes gets too much to handle. The pressure. Of course he shouldn’t have done it. But that’s how life goes. Let’s not pretend we keep calm and composed 24/7
@@jamessmythe1891 shut the hell up man, you sound like you know a thing or two about drugs. Guy lost a fight to a world class fighter by split decision. Donut, stay off the comments section fella
He is an human don't forget that! He losed in an close fight. And the last judge scored it 116-112. I would be upset too!
Sure He shouldn't Grab the mic but He did! It is okay for me and He will learn from it.
You could see Joshua was close to tearing up even before the points decision was read out in the ring...In the aftermath of his strange post fight rant you can now understand better that it all just overwhelmed him...the camp...the intense pressure he puts on himself.He is a warrior..a very good boxer...has a fantastic record with a huge amount of KO's.Usyk is one of the most natural talents in this weight class...exceptional at everything.I can't see where Joshua goes from here though having said all of that but he delivered a proper performance last night...maybe him and Wilder will meet.
I’d like to see him fight any of the following
Joyce
Fury
Whyte
Wilder
Ruiz
Ortiz.
First fight I wanna see for him is whyte then Andy 3 fight then Luis ortiz then wilder
@@moudjibmadouri8452 wilder isn't going to be sticking around that long he's got to be his next or the following fight or it never happens
I think any of them beats him. Hrs Bern very well protected. Wilder destroys him. Ruiz outworks him.
Usyk is probably one of the best boxers of the last twenty years
You speak as a very humble man and that makes u an even greater champion.
Life goes on. Sometimes you learn the hard way and suffer but it makes you stronger! Come back stronger
He takes way too much responsibility for everything, you can see it. Even just coming out and opening this post fight press conference. He’s the boxer, if they just had him concentrating on the boxing, he would be mentality a lot better
He is the brand as well. He can’t speak freely like Tyson because this is what happens when he speaks freely.
So he has had to make sure what he says fits the brand the sponsors want.
💯
Best comment on boxing I have seen in years....
He has been a champion for most of his career. It must be really hard to lose to anyone. AJ has accomplished more than most people ever will in there entire lifetime. I wish him all the best moving forward.
Congrats to Usyk of course. I wasn't rooting for him but I respect him highly.
@@stevenalderley9036 it's all relative mate. He was at the pinnacle of success in his chosen field. Most people chat but they aren't willing to take the steps to reach the top of their game. Not everyone wants to but he aims higher than most.
@Kelly yeah mate 100% true. Have a good day
*Accomplished more than most people will in their lifetime*
Average human beings desire to be a heavyweight boxer... Ain't nobody got time for that. 🤣🤣👍👍
He's bound to feel hard done by that ukrainian judge miss scored the fight and it's cost him
Eddie Hearn is a really incredible guy and very supportive of AJ. It's really nice to see.
Defeats make you stronger champ. Don't ever loose your intention to become better. You did great tonight, you're a part of the history of big box. You're a brave and noble man AJ, keep moving and living 💪 👏
I think it’s been tough on a lot of fans because we’re going to miss them great Saturdays nights watching Aj perform explosive knock outs , nothing but respect for any man/fighter who gets in the ring and thanks for the memories youve won some great battles .
I was rooting for him big time, and after Round 9 i thought This was all AJ, but Usyk showed the world that he deserved it in the last 3 rounds. Unlucky and i really hope he comes back. AJ doesnt deserve to go out like this, he has done alot for Boxing and has helped the sport gain popularity once again.
Say no more bro
I agree for the most part but i would not say it was unlucky for AJ he simply got outclassed by Usyk and i think that needs to be agnowledged
Deontay wilder going to knock AJ head off the ring and then retire him.
I respect all fighters like AJ said it takes a certain mindset and sacrifice to become one not forgetting tremendous bravery
He's human, we all break at some point especially when you go so high and achieve so much. Fact of how he recovered from this says all you need to know about his character. Decent man, one of the Greats.
I think the whole humble thing is an act. You saw the real him and then he went back to his act. People say heat of moment as he lost, I have never seen anyone throw belts out of the ring after losing.
Dillian white told us it was all an act and we saw it for ourselves last night. Respect to Joshua for having a go but usyk was too good.
Idk man Mike Tyson bit a dude's ear so this isn't too absurd
@@deetusy3letus no said it was absurd. They said the ‘stay humble’ persona is a PR crafted façade
Not really. In general i'm professional but the odd occasion the hood comes out. It's normal.
It is an act. Just like how you guys don't act the same way at work as you do with your friends and family. Difference is, he's being recorded.
His words about not fights or belts but the way how you treat people determines you as a person - ABSOLUTELY true. AJ is a good man and I respect him. 👏👏👏
Win or lose .. I always respect a boxer who takes on all comers.
AJ, you are the best and amazing human being!!
Threw the belts out of the ring stormed off came back and took the mic and ruined usyks moment, true colours shown, this man was hyped up to be a lot more then he was.
Lol so let people have same the energy towards you when you go 36 minutes taking blows to the head and the biggest match of your career and lose. That’ll be the real you yeah?
I don’t get how people can hate on AJ when they wouldn’t dare step foot in the ring the pressure of disappointing family and friends aswell as fans it’s indescribable
@@jgooner894 ermmm what's ya point?
@@jaydaone2282 because he was overrated, and was a fake Robert for so long. We saw his true colours last night, maybe ppl would like him more if he wasn’t so fake and acted like a prick after the fight
@@jaydaone2282 thank you
Sugar coat this all they want, post fight reaction from AJ was one of the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen!
Eddie stood with AJ, that’s so inspiring.
New respect 🙏 4 Joshua here from the states!!!!!! He might just become a new monster!!!!
AJ exhausted himself in round 9. All my friends were cheering, fist pumping at the close of the round thinking he'd weakened Usyk and he had him next round. Meanwhile all I could think was Joshua is doomed the next round. If you're as big as him and you commit to a KO you need to KO, or you're going to be very tired. Round 10 Joshua bearly threw and from there on it was obvious the outcome.
💯
Crazy that power slips that fast
*@bobby pell* he bearly threw.
That was my thought, as well, Bobby. Mounting an offensive like that, in the later part of the fight takes a lot out of a boxer. I mentioned that to my wife, between rounds. Having said that, it was incredible that Usyk took all of that punishment and still had the reserve to come back like that in the 10th. The guy is unworldly.
He didn't though that many punched to be gassed
Believe or not this is actually a great moment for AJ. He's getting a slice of reality. He's waking up.
You could be right,
Agreed. It will do him good but he has to forget about all the money he has and go back to his original trainer again. Was it simms.?
Many people chase perfect records but losses makes you a better boxer
@@giveusanepleasebob992 totally agree
You Defo used to be a wilder fan
What an undignified display at every stage.
Damn, I RESPECT this guy just for his concept of respect.
@@matts2496 was about to say it
Imagine what Fury would do to Joshua's mind! It would be brutal.
I'm going to crash my car in the wall fury 😂
@@puresim316nosimracingnolif3 😂😂
Hes already done it look at him
Fury would have embarrassed Joshua it's probably why he kept ducking any offers to make it happen.
and his skull as well
Respect to both fighters
Bless him 🙏
I love Eddie Hearn, he's shown me and the world what a decent human being he is and how much he cares about Anthony Joshua. I can feel how much Anthony's happiness means to him. He is more than a promoter to Anthony, he is like a mother, father, brother, and friend. All these attributes showed at this conference. Love ❤️ you Eddie.
eddie hearn is one of the ones that been gas lighting aj into being completely detached from reality.
hearn's a money hungry mofo
Eddie is just a white Don King
@@mariolisa2832 finally some called it out!👏🏾👏🏾 yes your right he is white don king!
No matter whether he won or lost, Joshua is still human but most importantly, through a very tough, painful, frustrating, upset, heartbroken moment for him, he still went out of his way to make a point to show Usyk all the respect and praise for him. Joshua is a true role model. He will always have all of my respect.
What for a street mugger?
No,he just disrespected not just the champion,not just the fans but the sport I love,Let's get it right.🙄
Ok then...
He stole usyks moment and looked like a mug doing it awkward speech 😆
He’s a grown man, why is everyone defending him like he’s a child?
People genuinely don't seem to recognise somebody having an emotional breakdown when they see one.
People recognise entitlement. Simple as
They shouldn’t have let him sit through and answer the questions lol
Nah, the dude just pulled a Kanye West.
I'm sure he'll be ok with the millions in the bank a few days down the line.
@@fidelcastro519 It was a disaster for Joshua, press conference is part of the contract, Eddie should have given him media training.
What an embarrassment, throwing boxing belts, grabbing microphone and ranting, crying watched by millions on TV, it’s gonna be hard for him from now on to leave the house and meet the public!
What I like about Joshua is he let us in to see a bit more into the boxing world and the pressures fighter has to carry.He was fighting for United Kingdom Great Britain, this is a massive pressure.Anthony we are all proud of you you fought really well and have nothing to be ashamed of, May God Continue to bless you.All of us in life are in our own ring sometimes we lose sometimes we win.I like the guys answering questions with Anthony May God bless them, reality is not always easy.Well done guys you should all be proud of yourselves.Superb entertainment and Boxing history continues.👏
Am proud of you champ from Nigeria you are real mentor sir
Threatening children that were winding him up, tantrums after defeat, crying about his loss, GET A NEW FAVOURITE BOXER CHILDREN THIS MAN IS FINISHED
Unfortunately when you belive the hype your promoter and team generate around you it hurts when you get beat. He never had the skill to beat usyk or tyson fury. Fury would stop him easy bitter Eddie always try to have a dig at fury. I think fury should take a warm up fight with aj, before beating usyk 👊 🤜 🤛 ✊️
@@winstonbrown1516 - I'm sure you'd be welcome in one of AJs 'shops'
Wtf are you talking about. Anyways, there is nothing wrong with being emotional after a loss. I mean didn’t your favorite fighter “tyson” have a mental breakdown in the ring and bit holyfield
Yes geezer even the dumb casuals know AJ is a fraud now
He was really good in my eyes. There is no shame in losing with that great performance! This fight was really close.
No it wasn’t a close fight. Usyk won every round but the second in my eyes. AJ didn’t take advantage of his big hits
just his post fight antics that put a stain on a great night for the both of em
@@addderxz Every round but the second? So you gave Usyk the ninth? Relax
@@addderxz good job your not a boxing judge then
AJ won round 9 too
If only everyone in the world could feel eachother's pain, the world would be a beautiful place.
Idk about that. Empathising purely on the basis of emotion is a really bad idea.
The Haters can type anything on TH-cam disrespecting AJ, but he is boxer and human. Elevating people can't be conducted by low people.
Что бы кто не говорил, этот человек достоин максимального уважения.
Well said brother
Translation:
No matter what anyone says, this man deserves the upmost respect.
Нет, повел себя позорно после боя.
He deserves no respect, he disrespected Ukraines anthem and even his own at the start of the fight, he took the belts off Usyks team and threw them outside the ring.
AJ is finished
@@vyx900 TH-cam translates it just fine
Great fight, Usyk is an absolute Warrior and Joshua did great in there against a true great.
What Usyk has done in his short professional career is something special !!!
You can’t be too harsh on AJs reaction after, adrenaline and emotion rule sometimes… same as when wilder didn’t acknowledge fury, he’d been battered and can’t be blamed for that
@@chrism6446 Mistakes happen, emotions run high. Usyk's team have moved on. Think fans should aswell. Can't be more offended than Usyk.
Mr perfect and Mr role model should face a fall from grace when it is deserved
@@eliwood9906 whatever. Usyk has been studying AJ for at least 10 years, watching taking notes while AJ has been fighting mandatories etc. Usyk knows AJ movements well. So while he is very talented, he has had and taken the time to really study all there is to know about AJ. AJ on the other hand hasn't even had a full 6 months to get to know Usyk at. Usyk is not some god; he is very beatable. That is what happens when you are taking back to back championship level fights and taking on everyone. He was a good target for everyone. In hindsight, he should have been more strategic, dropped the WBO belt and let Usyk fight and defend it so he could have more info and see how Usyk fights more. Ofcourse, Usyk didnt want that, they wanted to fight him as it was easier as they knew all about him and more money. It's just sad that after defending those belts for so long, and trying to make undisputed they are taken of him like that. Good luck to him. He had a natural human moment. When he lost to Andy Ruiz people said he didn't care and he was too lackadaisical now he has an adrenaline frustrated episode people are also clowning him. Anyway, he has a lot of other changes to make. He will be back strong and surprise all before he retires. Keep your head up AJ, Champ🥊
Exactly. All these people judging like they've been there before. I'm not even an AJ fan but give the guy a break
Hes finished and he knows it
Anthony Joshua...
Your true fans are still with you..
Find it within you and focus on your way back to the top ...
Remember on your way to the top, you won and others lost... They picked themselves up, you have more than the average person does to pick yourself up and get back to winning ways
I love you AJ you attitude has always been so attractive and inspiring. You improved alot and I'm proud of you 😍💪🏾🙏🏾
put some respect on his name man, guy has been full of class for years and now he has one breakdown people turn on him in the blink of an eye
He throw the belts .. swear .. please he got found out ... He needs to accept the word humble .
if he advanced a bit on those body shots he would easily have had at least one knockdown, but usyk is incredible and is so hard to hit. i hope he fights whyte again so he gets another shot at the title but idk if he'll continue
Respect is earned through one’s actions. Tonight’s actions made him lose some of that in eyes of quite a few people and its ok to point it out. AJ will see the backlash on social media and learn from that, so critique isn’t always bad.
@@nav2009 but when Chisora throws a table it’s all good and that’s just him
What class???he's a disrespectful punk
Heads up brother! You're still a champion and a wonderful inspiration! All the best in what you decide to do hereon. God bless you 🙏🏽👑❤
Very proud of you AJ you did very amazing in all your matches and I've loved you for your personalitie and how charming u are not for how you can box but you are very talented good luck man
@@dickiemolitsanti2213 🤔 who gives a f**k
so much respect for AJ
