Behind the scenes in Anthony Joshua's gruelling Texas training camp | BBC Sport
If you’ve ever fought, sparred, trained or even done a fucking boxercise class, you can’t help but respect the grind AJ gets down on and all top level fighters like him.
pls dont mention boxercise, thats disrespectful. but yh i agree with u except for the fuckign boxercise. im 16 and been training since i was 7, but everytime i see a boxervise class it pisses me off on another level
@@Bswithjay what even is the point of your comment?💀 My point was that i've been boxing for almost my whole life so i know a bit about boxing and i don't rate boxercise classes. That was all💀
Hell yeah.
No need to swear sir, this is the BBC
@@bobbynuttbutter9554 🤣🤣
He looks happy, settled and focused.
I was thinking the opposite.. it all seems false. He's scared to lose again
@@DannyBoycustom I mean who wants to lose again
@@DannyBoycustom Detective I know people's emotions at it again, get a break bruv 🤣🤣
@@dimitryanyanwu7681 I don't even know you 🤣🤣🤣
@@DannyBoycustom You have an amazing ability to psychoanalyse someone you've never met and from many miles away. Impressive.
AJ is a true fighter doesn’t matter if he won or lost he never ducked a challenge.
then why didnt he fight wilder for so many years? boxing makes me sad cause the top guys refuse to fight each other. we get such few good fights now.
@@angad10 wilder openly admitted he ducked AJ and you're still with this narrative. Youse sound pathetic now
@@angad10 they tried to make the Wilder fight twice but he didn’t want it.
First time he was offered 15 million when his highest purse was $2million.
Second time was when he was offered $100million for 3 fights one with breazille and two with AJ but he turned that down also.
@@angad10 wilder took the fury fight because he thought it was an easier fight. bigger fool him
This heavyweight era is garbage since nobody actually fighting each other and not even active...
Great to see AJ focused. Bellew doing a great job as a journalist as well. Respect
AJ really humbled himself and went to chase that next level like Rocky. I want him to win no doubt. This will be a tough fight
This will be won by KO no doubt. Franklin won't be able to cope
There's no easy way out
@Boxing Truth that aged well.
One things about Derrick James fighters is they don’t get tired. Those boys are in phenomenal shape.
Forreal. He’s putting out units
Never ducked a challenge no 💩 talk just a fella who came up the hard way made enough money to sink a battleship yet still puts the work in for the sport he loves ✊🏽
@Boxing Truth Correct, also an avid PED user.
Let's not mention his jail sentence, drug dealing and racism either. 😂
@@lf67hh28 he was a kid when he was arrested and never actually went to prison , there’s no proof he ever took peddling unlike fury who’s been caught more than once and if he’s protected name one heavyweight with a better cv and list the fights which make his cv better
@@shak-yv1ec Every professional athlete uses PEDs, Usyk has a better CV.
@@lf67hh28 Usyk only has 3 fights at heavy weight so his cv only has 2fighters on it so he doesn’t
@shak-yv1ec He has fought better boxers than any HW in the last 10 years in his career. CW's possess alot more skill than HW's. If you can't understand this then you don't understand boxing, at all.
Usyk is PFP Champion for a reason.
This was the best move for him 😊 he’s gonna excel
I hope so.
True warrior right here winning or losing.
He has a great spirit
So pumped to see AJ again. Such a great champ.
Happy for AJ hopefully he can turn this ship around.Nothing like a trainer -trainee synergy
Glad he's there with NO entourage, no fluff just graft
Being in that Texas heat is going to be what he needs. Also being able to work at earl Spence's pace will give him the fitness he needs.
He jabbing, pivoting and level changing like Spence! Damn this AJ going to be Good!
AJ is about to be a beast if he listens to coach James! When you’re down with team James and Errol, jermell and frank. It’s motivating and iron sharpens iron
to be fair i gave AJ alot of stick after the second loss to Usyk but hearing him saying ive let people down etc really made me realise were too harsh the guys a fighting man and got heart good luck AJ lad
Me to I wrote a harsh message I wish I hadn't done it now AJ YOU GOT THIS KO KO
Every fighter knows just how tough trainin camp can be. Respect to AJ.
Well done AJ for doing this. Overdue and much needed. Think itll be good for him win or lose..
it must be so hard being at the top of the game, especially with elite level boxing. You can tell someone like Floyd who leaves the gym and goes to the club but when it comes fight night he actually shows up and is ready. But for other boxers like AJ and Canelo they need that full on immersive experience to even get a little bit ahead. I really respect anyone who fights.
You actually believe that? 😮
My guy Floyd would run home after the club…. He was grinding more than anybody
Floyd had his first alcoholic drink in his 40s, leaving the club he would run home or the nearest 24hr fitness and put in work. That's why Floyd was able to fight an entire 12 rounds.
I adore AJ I think his first hiding to Ruiz knocked his confidence and especially when your using the same trainers year in and out. It's nice to see him fighting on like the warrior he is. Proud of all he's achieved and what hes going to achieve.
U can do this Aj. I'm a big fan, u are great remember that. Keep pushing forward thats how winning is done. 👍
nice to see he's working hard, and not around yes men.
AJ didn’t need to fight Usyk twice, he could’ve just retired the champ, with all the money he has he didn’t need it, but he still made those fights and wanted immediate rematches, unlike Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua is a true warrior and I’m sick of hearing the disrespect being put on his name, he doesn’t need to keep doing heavyweight boxing but he clearly wants it
I wasn't a big fan of boxing until I watched AJ fight. Of course, I've always loved Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. However, AJ's performance made me fall completely in love with boxing. You can see that he has a burning passion for the sport. I felt disappointed when he lost his last fight, and I wish him the best of luck in his upcoming match tomorrow.
Let's go AJ
Repping AJ for life💯💪👑
Welcome to the United States AJ I would love to meet you while you're in the United States I think you're a great boxer good luck in your fight brother God bless you
I remember Charlo saying the "temperature" in that gym is one of the reasons for his success. Bellew felt it
This was a perfect move for AJ! He seems focused
Aj and Ej there together 🔥
this should of been an hour long
Why ? Cause you will only see him on his feet for a few minutes in the fight ?
Haha more the fact that they've flown a scouser out to texas, he's training in a gym with derrick james frank martin, errol spence and jermell charlo and they only make it 5 mins long
Lets hope its the old joshua on the front foot, and throwing punches. Not stepping back afraid of someone catching him like he has been since the ruiz match.
AJ FAN FROM THE FIJI ISLANDS
AJ IS A WARRIOR
SMASH EM ALL CHAMP
this was beautifully shot! King is looking golden!! 👑🥊 Vamos Aj! 👊💥
Enjoyed this should see more of this
Good luck to him 👍
Let’s go champ 🦾🏆
Champ????😂😂😂😂
Been a fan but I’m a bigger fan even after the losses. Sometimes fans will give up on the fighter after losses but the bounce back and learning from it is cool to see.
Saw EJ for .5 seconds that’s all I needed lol the GOAT
Come on big Josh!
Is there a 40 mins version? This is too short
AJ is the most underrated fight in the division for sure. Only losses were to top level fighters, now people write him off?
Anthony has a great career left in front of him and if he gets past his mental blocks I see him being a champion again.
I don't, not while Usyk and Fury are still active, they're both a million times better than AJ will ever be
A million times better… He may of lost but only on points so a slight exaggeration on the Usyk fights but fighting fury is an unknown…
@@Lee-ye3ev Shithouse comment
@Discover or whatever your name is. A.J has no mental blocks. Usyk was just the better fighter. Fury knows this that's why he's running. 🤣
@@mikhelBrown Cry baby comment
Love this 🎉
AJ movie would be super motivating
Rocky never left his manky flat and had a freebie steak of his brother in law. It’s in the heart.
Looking good champ thanks Tony for the update 👍
I admit I was a Anthony Joshua hater but feel he’s came out his shell recently this is what we all wanted from aj
Tony bellew & anthony joshua. Two of the biggest and funniest personalitys to ever grace the sport 👏
I really love this for Aj
Happy fighter is a dangerous fighter
Lets go AJ LETS GOOOOOOOO
AJ a Cowboy now.👍💯🥊
Boxing's a lot harder than people think it takes a lot of heart and will to just to get into the ring
@Boxing Truth that’s so far from the truth 😂
@boxingtruth2167bum
Old skool💪🏾
They keep hating this man but he stays humble and puts in the work and truly fights anyone .... if what happened with Usyk ain't enough proof it's Fury (who's a diva and just about money not legacy) that ducked him I don't know what to tell you. Also, Wilder who is a free agent + got caught redhanded on twitter saying 'we fought Fury for less when we could have fought you' .... this man fought Usyk twice back to back, Andy twice back to back. He does not run.
AJ ducked Fury, hence he's a fighting that absolute nobody on the weekend. Ruiz is another nobody, only AJ fans rate him to try and justify him quitting against him like a coward.
@@Lee-ye3ev 💀💀u got that wrong Fury ducked AJ and fury is the type of guy to duck ppl like we saw with the usyk fight
@@guestguest2211 You got that wrong, AJ clearly ducked Fury hence he's having a tune up fight against this bum first. AJ is the type to quit like a coward like he did against Ruiz
@@Lee-ye3ev firstly son, fury has ducked AJ twice. First time? Fury was offered 60/40. Fury ducked and fought wilder instead. Then fury ducked AJ again in December, or do you really believe that fight could be made in 10 days? As for being a coward, not sure what you base that on? The first Ruiz fight? The ref stopped the fight? Joe Frazier? Billy Joe sanders? Both quit on their stalls? So I guess your calling them cowards aswell? And...AJ has fought 12 mandatories in a row, something wilder and Fury have never done? So keep your hate to yourself son, you're not fit enough to carry AJs spit bucket, let alone criticise him.
@@Lee-ye3ev im not talking abt AJ's in ring attitude. But if u look back fury was the one ducking and the usyk situation just backs up the fact that fury is greedy and only picks mickey mouse fights
LET'S GOOOO AJ!!!!!!
LETS GO AJ..
Good luck AJ
Put some respect on this mans name! 👏
in the words of Shannon Briggs
"let's go champ" 🥊
Why coz he’s training for a fight? He’s on a two fight losing streak
He isn't a champ, champs have belts
Cheesy
@@thomaswolf6645 so? See fans like are what’s wrong with boxing. Y’all care way too much about undefeated records
I would drop on all aj videos he need to go train here in Texas with derrick James... His style reminded me of Spence, I can't believe I'm actually seeing it happen !
tony is funny can literally see his been awake an hour with 2 cups of coffee and is just wakeing up lmfaooo
Respect
AJ Back !
Let’s go AJ….
Get it on 🔥🔥
He should have said if you put a dog with lions you become a lion. His talk is weak you have to give him that lol 4:46
Aj will do the job 👊 🔥.
Very interesting, well presented, nice to see a different take on this presentation 👏
Go AJ ..... clean em all out again.. !!
A more homoerotic version of the rocky IV training montage (nothing beats rocky III montage btw).
Aj is going to use is size to dismantle Franklin with the new Errol Spence style breakhim down little by little. That's the game plan for sure.
1:39 around summer time that heat sticks to you its humid asf with little wind out here in texas
I have never been a AJ fan but I can't hate on him for being humble and still Hungry and for changing it up this far into his career man how crazy would it be if he got it back and it was fury he took it from.AJ wears his feelings on his shoulders in a good way thou he is being honest.
AJ is lowkey a fast runner.
Yes I like it . Here comes the new reborn champion
This Anthony Joshua is lean and fast, this can be effective kind of body for boxing.
AJ going all rocky 4 training style haha
I hope AJ gets back on top, it would be so good for Heavyweight Boxing. 👍🇺🇲🗽🏴👍
Let's goooo!!!! Bro is coming back
You'll never see me again Koogs hahaha
I want to see him succeed so bad .
I’m a massive AJ fan I can tell he’s a lot more focused now and wants to get back to the top. Come on AJ, get the job done on Saturday now 🥊🥊🥊
???@boxingtruth2167
It’s pretty Ricky Conlan!
he is a good boxer bro. Also, if you get time, check out the boxing content on my channel... honestly you will enjoy it!
Let's go champ!!!
No more of that candy cane training now. Derrick is going to have him in shape
Aj is a great I’m hoping we get that aj we seen to start his career
"They want to push you to the breaking point so hard that once you're there you realise that's why no ones in it"
Come on Aj that’s the way let’s have the old Aj back 👏👏👏
He still thinking as fast as he executes. You can literally see his thoughts before he does.
Stay Humble AJ. Keep grinding!!
Train all you like you can't create a chin ,you are heavy weight Amir Khan ..no damn chin but still made millions
Olympics is always a good stepping stone to make it in boxing even if your shite
The work before the box be the real boxing...
Good coach good move.
Like Opollo Creed said.."there is no tomorrow "
AJ probably doesn't even give a shit or like Bellew, the guy that said when he retired you wouldn't see him around boxing again now you can't keep him away
Way better champ than Fury.
Outside the ring maybe yeah.
@Mathieu L inside the ring aswell he's accomplished more than fury ever will his resume and achievements are way clear of furys.
Newsflash he lost haha😅
@@emmap188fury’s a 2 time world champ with barely any defences
And he would trade it all in for furys boxing ability
Good luck bro grts !
I’d love AJ and/or Usyk to fight wilder, not just because it would be a great spectacle but it would really force Fury into action and show him to be the common denominator in these broken down negotiations.
Might actually galvanise him into fighting other top opposition outside of Deontay.
AJ needs to fight in beast mode like the man across from him took everything he ever loved and laid it to waste.
Totally different training camp no weights just pure fight training stamina IQ boxing skills Franklin going to sleep
