What kills me, is all the haters! When you see a guy as humble as AJ, and a guy with zero malice! And people constantly bashing him, when he has achieved so much in such a short time. Show respect to a guy that shows respect!!!! 👊🏾
Rocco Cade straight fella it’s becoming very annoying he’s only had 24 fights learning his trade gaining exp in the glare of the worlds media envy’s a dirty thing 🙏👊👊
Haters gonna hate. No matter what happen, they will always be like that. AJ will respond them with the same attitude. And don’t forget that they will always be just a few morons making a lot of noise. Just noise.
🏃🏃🏃💨💨😂
Its funny because even when lonnox lewis was dominating he was hated too like its a crime for a guy from the u.k to be a champion
Much respect he did what he had to do, BUT I won’t respect fully until he fights wilder, Ortiz, or fury! That’s all I’m saying. PERIOD
This guy is so humble 👍🏾
oh like when he said Ruiz's OVER HAND RIGHT HOOK was a lucky punch! don't worry well done AJ you got your belts back, but Ruiz made it easier by not preparing properly!!!
is fanboy Nelson disagreeing with that?
Vicas Bailey
Do you not have anything better to do than parroting horse shit? Ruiz lost
Yeah now!!!! Because it's a bad look to be cocky and get embarrassed and beat up like he did the first fight. Ok we had a long laugh at AJ this year so now it's back to him hiding and talking his way out of fighting Wilder. No more B level fighters for AJ he'll now be fighting only D level fighters to ensure he never loses again.
Tourus Stanley
You know nothing
He fought intelligently and strategically. He showed that he can change his game when he needs to.
DAZN better make a comeback Documentary
lets hope Stallone fucking swallow his words too lol
Great idea!
Pc Jacob yeaah need that still 👍
Am now fit enough to watch the first fight and the documentary too....
Wouldnt be entertaining in the highlight clips, he aint even drop ruiz once
My sister's work colleague goes to AJ's gym, and she says he's the nicest sweetest guy. LOL!
I'm sure he was real sweet to her lol
@@dojo1371 Doesn't have to be about sex bro. AJ is a nice guy, no rocket science.
djagne luyindriouglo not true first time I saw him too while I was at work he was so so nice & humble I didn’t even know him then I wasn’t into boxing cos him I’m a boxing fan much love Aj.
@djagne luyindriouglo get therapy you pathetic fuck.
@djagne luyindriouglo - If anyone thinks their girlfriend won't cheat on them take them down to this gym.
Such a humble and great human being had his back from his first fight till now until the end but his legacy will live on for all time insha allah ( god willing )
Big up Steve Bunce top of the game with interviews and punditry over the years.
Deontay Wilder can't be considered a TRUE champion until he fights the 💯 RIGHTFUL No.1 mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte.
If AJ is forced to fight Usyk or be stripped of one of his belts then Deontay Wilder should also be stripped of his WBC title if he refuses to fight Dillian Whyte.
Nobody is afraid of Dillian Whyte.. are you freakin serious??? Wilder decapitates Whyte in 3 rounds!
You just don’t want your precious Golden Child to lose to Wilder because you know he can’t beat him!
@@iscapetv5508. Wilder would fucking murder Whyte. It's not even a challenge for Wilder. Same goes for AJ.
Sydney Rooster lol
@@headcandyentertainment4001 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
AJ IS A CLASS, HUMBLE, GENTLE GIANT, I WISH HIM ALL THE BEST,. HE HAS BROKEN TOO MUCH BOXING RECORDS WITHIN 9 YEARS
Aj has the record for being the ONLY Heavyweight champion beaten up by a Mexican.
What boxing records? Wilder has passed Ali in title defenses and has the highest knockout ratio in history. Wtf has AJ done again?
Wladimir negotiated him an awesome HUGO BOSS deal man!
Really?
Openmind Conservative just look at his track suit - furthermore he’s cool with Wladimir and he’s an HugoBoss ambassador
Oh, that'll make him a better fighter, gee Hugo Boss; so the fuck what. He should be negotiating a contract to fight Wilder and fight for undisputed. However that is not going to happen because he's afraid of Wilder. History will record Joshua as an "also ran", a footnote.
@@ihopetowin Wilder was a FREE AGENT when he turned down 120 million for a 3 fight deal, including 2 with AJ. 20 of that was to fight Breazeale, instead he took the safe optioned and earned a quarter of that for the Breazeale fight. Wilder only mentions AJ's name when they are tied up in fights, the guy is a bellend
@@truthhurts1884 The problem is you know AJ will get his head knocked off. You know this and it's why you feel you have to make up, embellish or extrapolate from erroneous rumours little stories to suit your narrative. If Joshua fights Wilder the way he fought Ortiz he'll get himself hospitalised.
If there ever was a situation where a loss makes you a better fighter? This is it
All the hate he gets yet let's be honest he is one of boxing's good guys.
This guy is just pure class 100%. Great role model.
Good man in and out of the ring.....big up champ.
Hey Andy, this is the example of no excuses ✌
Anthony joshua is a very likeable guy🥊❤
I agree and he's a great boxer. But we must admit that he is deathly afraid of Wilder.
Champ,
Got to be careful... don't drinking or eat stuff from people you don't know; specially coming to America. They could have mixed something in your drink or water in the first match; resulting you getting tired and being weak. May God protect you... you seem like a very likeable and respectful individual.
Astral Nemix hahahahaha.....maybe aka skins was trying to kill him
Farhad sayed. You sound ridiculous.
I think you got the point, I thought that way too
ihopetowin - AJ’s a very wealthy and respected individual, u really think everybody in boxing want him at the number one spot???? Heavy weight Champion??? U think Al Haymon want that???
farhad sayed That’s a bit harsh here in America we don’t do shit like that! Come on man!
My pride ... simply being lucky to share a heritage with him ...Also happy to join the rest of the Worldly lovers of AJ ...
Staying Hungry and remain Humble beginnings wt rest of AJBXNG fans worldwide..
Stay hungry, stay humble
magic wand and what the hell heritage Is that
chris bennett I’m guessing African mate ... not rocket science
This man is humble and the reason people hate him because it’s hard to find anything to not like him so the create hate Love from America our Ancestors are proud bro 💪🏿
What a man! I want my son to grow up just like AJ I swear... And I haven't got a boy :)
😊
@Mike Mike How I wish it worked like that :)
Why do you want your son to grow up like another man you're supposed to be his hero not no one else soft
@@lorenzoarchuleta2679 I guess you've grown up to be a copy of your dad huh! :/
Yup just like my dad I owe a big time business now to just like him got it
I have never seen or heard of any boxer (heavyweight champion ) , or fighter who was or is as humble and classy as Anthony Joshua.
Never ever ...! What a man !!!
Well Ali
He's a legend already in my eyes...
We gotta learn from this, Joshua came back after a big loss and got the job done, good man.
AJ, you, my son, are a CHAMPION. You had a bad day at the office and Andy (the smiling assassin) Ruiz was there at just the right time. And that’s all it was.
You are a wonderful role model, and a terrific ambassador for the sport.
I really admire you and wish you all Gods blessings for the future.
Yeah but he a chicken 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔.he obviously don't have confidence in his ability or skills to take a risk and believe me I won $$200 bucks from two co workers.. I guess i wasn't satisfied with his performance... Pity for such size, strength, power but i knew it that's why i put my money on AJ.. the first fight I didn't bet but didn't think Andy would Win!! I don't see a 3rd fight anytime soon either.. Andy gotta go to back of the line.
@@hermesgonzalez5249 he's a chicken for going straight back into a rematch with a knock that knocked him down 4 times, hurt hum and humiliated him? He took a risk just getting back in the ring with him, wtf are you talking about. This time round it was about fighting smart and getting the win. Ruiz has an iron chin, going all out for the knockout is what cost AJ last time.
Wow, the guy lost cause he was sick... He was disciplined enough to keep that under his hat till his redemption... You're something special AJ👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Your Amazing Joshua stay blessed your great 👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Why do people keep saying 3 belts? IBF IBO WBO WBA is 4 right? Anyone?
I dont understand either!
IBO is not as well recognized as the others. Therefore, technically he has 4 belts but only three major world titles!
@@nathanaelheilbronn2675 thanks for that.its always confused me and I'm a lifelong fan of boxing.i actually held Ricky Hattons IBO belt when he had it and thought I was the shit....dont really mean much now lol but we all know WBC is the one and there's too many titles anyway.one name one face one champ no confusion
sean Fletcher I kinda like the idea of having 4 world championship belts, cos the excitement for an unification (champ vs champ) is just enormous. WBC belt is most prestigious for you?
@@nathanaelheilbronn2675 yea that's a fair point.but for the casual fan it's all a bit confusing.and its champion of the world even with just IBO belt but you're not cuz the other belts are out there. but yea I love a unification fight.and with the WBC title ive always felt it's the ultimate belt and it's the oldest founded in 1963 my second has to be WBA.was you rooting for AJ? I certainly was. all good he'll unify all the belts not since Lennox Lewis has it been done so yea I suppose all them titles are a good thing.thanks for your input
Its not difficult to figure out ...training ..overtraining ..depleted vitamins and minerals ...anaemia due to low red blood cell count with depleted iron levels . A decent sports nutritionist would be onto that via dialogue with athlete and coaches and via blood tests . Sounds like someone was mickey mouse in the team.....
He said he had an surgery. You don’t need surgery for anemia.
In 2020 we must see him fight Deontay W.
I absolutely agree, but don't hold your breath because Joshua is scared to death of Wilder and has no intention of risking his health. He's not in the sport for legacy, only money.
He won’t fight Deontay. He is scared
ihopetowin Get your facts right!!! First off what makes you say AJ is scared of Wilder?!!! Who was chasing who before?!! Didn’t Wilder turn down the offers he was given? Did he turn down 100mil cos him and Shelly Finkle found out that AJ was going to get more than Wilder? Now it’s Wilders turn to chase AJ or he can continue fighting the lesser fights he has been fighting... Here comes Wilder Ortiz3 or Wilder Stiverne3.
@Mike Mike My junkie pale skin father? Is that an insult? AJ is scared he got beat into submission by a fat dude. Next time they fought he ran from him the entire fight and used his reach to stay away from the hay makers LOL AJ isn't a beast fam. He is a well built dude with a soft chin. If he ever fights wilder he would be KO by the 7th round easily. Watch the youtube interviews. Wilder offered him 50 million pounds and wilder was going to take 20 to fight.
Gosh, man. Nobody is perfect, but this Joshua guy is close.
I am so so proud of AJ can I hear 2 Time!!!!
He is showing all the guys in the division how to act, with respect.
Two time heavy weight champion of the world....
AJ respect,you made us proud
AJ is a top class bloke. Never once has he made whatever health issue he had, be an excuse for losing that fight, it was Andy’s night and that’s it. So many more professionals in combat sports should take note.
One of the best interviews I've seen from Anthony Joshua if not, the best! Cracking stuff.
Good for him for not revealing his health problems/operations etc.
Costello is the Rolls Royce of boxing journalism.
"Blessedly" not luckily.
Neither. Just hard work.
@@Drummer1000George Says the guy who doesn't know that all good things come from above. AJ even knows that because you can tell by the way he speaks.
@@bearable55 Knowing and believing are two different things. Never mistake one for the other.
Can't you see through all the bollocks?
@@Drummer1000George True and God will judge that. Meanwhile we can only judge the tree by the fruit it bares.
The one and only.... 2 time heavyweight champion of the world.... AJ..... Anthony.... Joshuaaaaaaaaa...!!!...🥊💥🥊💥🥊💥🥊💥🥊💥🥊💥🥊💥🥊💥
All the haters aj had after June the 1st r eating humble pie
Your where a hater lol

Should be trying to fight for undisputed....but Joshua is frightened of Wilder.
Ahson Khan with his current mindset joshua will batter him within 3 rounds.
@@ihopetowin oh shut up
i dont understand how anyone can dislike Joshua
Nuril Ahmed He gets a lot of credit for doing nothing that is why he is disliked
@@christiansoldier77 doing nothing.... Hhhhmmmm
@@halimausman5599 YEs dioing nothing . He just got KOed by the Pillsbury Doughboy For crying out loud SMH
Everybody in the comments is talking about vitamins and taking too much blood. It's clear that his health / fatigue issues were down to the pressure of being world champion, perhaps some mild anxiety / depression issues - he hints at that quite strongly in this anyway. The expectations of a whole nation, the hype, the interviews... it's too much for anybody to handle! We are all human.
It wasn't all rumours, he had health issues before the first fight. I'm happy you are back as champ.
Anthony was compromised in the fight against Ruiz. He was not himself that night. I'm glad he's back.
Exactly my point
Great interview 👍 well done Team Joshua 🥊🥊🥊
I am not a doctor, as AJ told Dillian are you a doctor?
But maybe giving a lot of blood for Vada testing every week might be the reason why AJ was tired back in June
For god's sake how much blood do you think they take? It's just a few mills that's all, you hysterical ignoramus.
mans thinking they taking bucket loads 😅
@ who ? , 😂😂
Who are ya
Thyroid?
Really? R u sure
Look up the symptoms, they match up with his issues. My have injured it training his neck and just overlooked it until his body could not continue to hold out.
Interesting.. I have a thyroid issue myself and even I forgot it could be that. I was thinking maybe he needed vitamin b12 injections, and probably wanted to avoid mentioning it due to people then putting his name alongside the word “injection”, despite it only being b12 you know how people change and embellish facts lol
It could be high defencies in iron (blood transfusion) or b12 (couple of injections) or maybe thyroid. He was on some vegan shit so it could be B12 or Iron. Or something else...
I believe he had staph infection. So it might of been thyroid operation . He had a stye on his eye before the fight. Gyms carry staph a lot
This bloke is a Better Man than he is boxer and A.J is a awesome boxer. What a great kid. Be proud to have him as a son. He's Fair Dinkum a Great Kid.
Top interview. AJ was back in town.
It’s looks the same problem as fury had after wlad but aj delt with it that little better, rematch fury never took and went out his mind, in the end but aj took his a had it all back could have been very different🥊🤫
Can you explain the situation? Im pretty new to boxing so excuse my ignore my ignorance
@@shaqgreen3167 Fury become champ, But he didn't handle it well due to the parties, drug problem and weight gain. he has to give up the title since he didn't defend them for over 11 months
Love steve bunce interview. Also heard AJ speak a few insights that never heard before regarding exhaustion and ice buckets
I like Costello & Bunce. They are good and entertaining.
Hahaha people are so hurt and upset that he’s champion again Hahahaha I love it.
He won't be champion for long if he fights Wilder, which he won't because Joshua is a ducker and fears Wilder.
ihopetowin Give up bruh!!!! Go back to the LDBC channels they like such jealousy and negativity!!!!
ihopetowin tell wilder to find his pen and sign the 100m contract that he ducked. Wilder is a bum has a terrible record - don’t you think AJ will neutralise his right hand just like fury more or less did, difference with AJ and fury is that AJ has knock out power if wilder gives any windows AJ will jump on him and knock him out.
dsrosa...But don't mention the people that were hurt and upset when Ruiz beat him in the first fight hey?? The one's that came up with 101 bullshit excuses why a fat Mexican whupped him.....
@@ihopetowin HE OFFERED A FIGHT TO WILDER FOR 80 MILLION AND WILDER TURNED IT DOW IT IS EASY FOR WILDER TO CALL OUT JOSHUA IN PUBLIC BUT HE TURNS DOWN THE FIGHT AND THEN SAYS AJ IS DUCKING HIM ALSO HE STILL HASN'T ACCEPTED TO FIGHT DILLIAN WHYTE WHO IS NUMBER 1 CONTENDER TO FIGHT FOR A LONG TIME AND STILL HASN'T GOT HIS FIGHT WITH WILDER
We love you bro 💪🏽🥊 respect ✊
Congratulations CHAMPION. 🔥🔥🔥🥊🥊
AJ only lost the first fight due to the worlds media and other obligations overtaking his life.. taking piece by piece from him..leaving him a burnt out shell in the first fight.we all could see he wasn't right even before the bell went.he was mentally and physically roasted.A by product of his own success...utmost respect for AJ and his future.
Blessed
The thing I like about this interview is that it's mostly just 3 boxing fans talking about boxing.
Love you AJ
If I ended up in court for whatever reason, I definitely wouldn't fancy being cross examined by Mike Costello !! #scarydude
Got to love Steve
This is a man who banks his money, forgets about it and concentrates on the task in hand.
Fantastic interview
Hey 90s kids.. When was the last time you've seen a Boss shirt?? Lol
You’ll be seeing them everywhere soon
The cologne was garbage back in the day !
@@squelch6573 it damn sho was.. I think tommy & cool water was the shit back then..
It’s the real you now AJ 💓🥇 Go Champ
Have Lennox Lewis called you yet with congratiolations? I have a feeling he is almoust as happy as you. 😉😛
By the way AJ is the most impressing british heavyweight ever.
HONESTLY EVERYBODY IS GIVING JOSHUA ALL THIS PRAISE AND ILL SAY YES HE FOUGHT WELL BUT IF IM BEING REAL ANTHONY JOSHUA ONLY DID WHAT I Expected him to do in the first fight>>> so i canT give him that much praise because he should have done this june first like everyone expected and wed all be closer to seeing the fights we really wanna see.
Sports personality of the year coming up I reckon x
Classic case of good cop bad cop 😂 brilliant
This guy is the real 👑
Aj nearly went down the wrong path dealing drugs being a bad boy but boxing and the help from trainers like mccracken has with his hard work has taken him to the top of the world
Aj is a role model for all young people
He is a good guy all round how could anyone not like this man
They better have made a documentary
Pure class. A really good human!
What was the operation ?
Aj is a classic role model
I want to see ALL Four Belts unified! After Fury fights Wilder, the winner must fight Joshua! Make it happen! 🥊
Go on AJ, work hard and be hungry like you was in the last weeks. trust in you, ill watch youre fights from germany :-) best regards babba
Love u Aj
What was Ruiz's weight prior to the ringwalk? He may have gained 15 pounds in the last 40 hours prior to the fight!
Harsha Sankar 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
AJ DID A FANTASTIC JOB IM VERY HAPPY FOR HIM
well done champ, don't listen to the arm chair boxers you'd smash them up!!!!
Humble guy!!
AJ. Congratulations we made it.
AJ please don't forget me your number one fan remember i told you last time to visit your mother land and you did now we made it remember to give thanksgiving and don't forget to ask abme too your friend blessing.
Stay bless.
What a man
Aj numero 1 belts back with rightful owner one left aj
Why do I keep reading that people won’t respect Joshua until he fights Ortiz??...what has he ever done his pro record isn’t up to much and the 2 times he did step up he got knocked out cold. Obviously it’s Wilder fans making a big deal of Ortiz to try and justify his record...be honest if wilder had fought whyte,povetkin,klitchko,Parker and Ruiz would he still be unbeaten I really don’t think so Ajs resume is so much better that’s a fact!.How come wilder never pushed for a klitchko fight??
Anyone noticed the lack of comments from certain American actors and sportsmen since Anthony Joshua’s win. All these people bigging up Ruiz win and now he’s lost, not a murmur. I’m not surprised though, I’m glad he’s shut those people up.
You got all that money for beating A snickers bar.Pretty smart.
I am pretty sure he will never turn down a fight with Wilder, Fury, or Ortiz. The business side of it... That's what's keeping them from doing it. Different sanctioning bodies... Promoters and all the sideline stuff. These guys will just fight each other if those other things do not exist.
I wish I knew the process that determines how many times a boxer boxes in a year. Because before a boxer is champion he may fight every 90 days. But once he's champion it becomes 3 per year. My opinion is that this is straight up backwards. Once he's champ he'll need to fight more often which would in turn make him more.prepared physically and. Mentally
My son. AJ, thank you my son. I am happy
Operation eh? :( I hope nothing serious. I hope we see him fight for a looong time. Blessings to the champion...
Just a nice guy.
Im a bit scared for the wilder fight if it ever happens, to be honest. AJ doesnt have the chin nor the head movement of fury, so that laser beam straight right will be looking for him all night. He will have to do the opposite of the ruiz fight. Wilder would love it if he stayed on the outside. He will have to step in when wilder loads up the right. Havent really seen wilder do any damage from the guard, and AJ has some good inside uppercuts on his resume. But he should definitely be aggressive and go for the kill.
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 Son's of the Soil!!!
Yes ooo naija for life
This guy is so..
Rich.
Eddie messed up he rushed with the ruiz first fight it's all on him the aj loss
I really think aj should speak with Eddie about this because that loss was because of him
He's the champ he should be ready for anything.
However, if its true they knew he had health issues, they should have delayed the fight. That's on Eddy
We need to see Usyk vs Joshua
2 Times! 2Times! He took for granted being the heavy weight champ and having those belts! But now he respects being a champion and the belts and will enjoy all the perks and take it all in!
AJ you are the best role model
