To all those people saying “AJ was just running”: First of all, you’re just casuals, because boxing is a sport of strategy and adaptation. AJ did just that, he outboxed Ruiz exploiting his opponent’s weaknesses. If you think a fight is just standing face to face and trading punches, you clearly don’t know much about boxing and, secondly, you’re not going to last very long as a fighter that way. AJ’s tactic was to remain light on the feet, keep moving, mantaining distance with a precise jab. If you believe that that’s easy means you don’t know shit about being 12 rounds in a boxing ring. AJ’s conditioning was extraordinary, how he kept moving, switching things up, man, that’s a world class fighter right there. Joshua definetly deserves to be Heavyweight champion! (Don’t get me wrong, Ruiz is also an amazing fighter, but he got outsmarted this time. Now I would love to see AJ fight Wilder or Fury in the near future)
QuIgYx If you think AJ has a glass jaw you have never watched boxing in your life. Having no chin is being knocked unconscious, he was never knocked unconscious once which shows he got a pretty good chin.
It's crazy how much one loss can mature someone so much. This is why losses can serve to define the greatest fighters- in positive lights. People that don't really watch boxing, think that being undefeated is the greatest quality a boxer can have. But like every great person in any profession, in any avenue of life- true boxing legends are built like symphony's. There tales in the ring are what make them great champions, their bravery, their adversary. I'm glad Anthony had this loss, because now we get to know what kind of champion he truly is.
Well said. The one thing that was always concerning me was how big and bulky he was getting. The loss made him re-evaluate his training, trim down and make focus more on boxing. Now to add to his arsenal, he's got boxing ability and stamina. Plus he's got the added mental strength of coming back from defeat to reach the top again.
I agree with what u said BUT, let's say jawshua was still undefeated and his rival had 1 loss on record, you'd be singing a different tune saying Jawshuas better he never lost
j dub that’s not true at all, not even close, it would depend on who his rival was. I don’t think Anthony is the best champion that ever lived. I think there are several champions before him with losses that would beat him, if we put him against Tyson, Hagler, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Dempsey, or Holyfield to name a few, I honestly don’t think he’d win, and all those guys had losses. I think he has a lot more to do to prove to me that he’s as good as those men. If he can beat Deontay and Fury, the discussion MIGHT change. We have a heavy weight division that, if it pits itself against each other, has the opportunity to be one of the better of all time. It’s an exciting time with Ruiz, Joshua, Wilder, Tyson, Whyte, Usyk(still rocky on him because of his debut into the heavyweights), Ortiz, Dubois and a few others. Anyways got a bit carried away- but to drive my point home. There are several tuna can boxers that cherry pick and stay undefeated for years, but anybody with any real boxing sense can recognize talent and can recognize that when these guys come up against a real champion, that they’ll lose their 0. Being undefeated only means something when you have the resume. As much as I detest Mayweather- you can’t deny his skill. He was not only undefeated, but has one of the most impressive resumes in boxing history.
Born Nocturnal I don’t think that’s really an accurate statement. I would agree that Andy is more than deserving of a rematch, and that we can’t easily discern who is better. However what we can say is that Andy knocked Joshua out, fair and square, becoming the champion. Then, Joshua came back, and beat Andy squarely in points. Unanimously even. I agree with that call. So while I say it’s deeply competitive- both of them are more than deserving champions, neither deserves to be delegitimized based on the fact that one was better prepared than the other on the night.
@@stevenhageman8255 , they both had good 6 months of preparation; the phrase' better prepared' is out of discussion, please. If one is careless and ill-prepared for a world title, whose fault? What an excuse!The truth is AJ may not be able to cope very well with Ruiz combo and Ruiz cannot definitely cope with AJ's new boxing style. If Ruiz is well prepared, his short reach and heavy built are his disadvantages to defeating AJ if AJ sticks to his new style.
I wasn't surprised, I knew A.J would come back and win... beautifully outboxed him... Think about it, on his worst night he knocked down Ruiz who never been knocked down.
I had just became an Anthony Joshua fan after his fight with Klitscho and began to follow him more and more until after his rematch with Ruiz. I'm of Mexican decent and I was still a Joshua fan even after his loss to Ruiz but then the rematch happened. Alot of people call it 'outboxed' but I call it 'outfoxed' in a match that was already gifted. It was a disappointment for me to see this from Joshua, considering that Ruiz was still an underdog that was overweight, on the other side of the pond, much slower in a bigger ring than the first match, and had no chance against the judges whatsoever. I mean, Joshua stood toe to toe with Klitscho and has had other tough fights and yes I agree with Joshua OUTBOXING Ruiz, but hell, he didn't even give us a few seconds to show some of that brutal strength and give his FANS a few golden nuggets of what's to come. For that, I question his mindset until he fights someone in the ranks of a Wilder or a Fury and snaps back into his old self again. I know he can do it but its gonna be a tough road, good luck champ!
@@krushon3298 wilder Is really terrible has got a right hand yes , been beat twice by fury but who has he actually fought and don't say Ortiz cos he ain't fought anyone and has 40 odd yr old I know ur not having a go at joshua i think ruiz beats wilder ..
@@krushon3298 and what do you think he's corner was telling him? stay behind your jab , do not engage and bring those bloody belts back! That was a high pressure situation for AJ, like it or not that fight was not for the fans, that fight was about bringing the belts back.

AJ adjusted and showed the world that he's not one dimensional like Wilder, he can also box and go 12 rounds fresh. I am also Mexican born in USA, been watching boxing since late 80s with Julio Cesar Chavez being the main reason.
@ZenBoxing TV Frazier ali and foreman were all greats of boxing The rivalry was amazing But for me ali tops it coz of his movement, endurance, speed, quickness, reflexes, intelligence and all round boxing prowess
@@ryanadam3720 in history I don’t know.. Ali was fast of course, I believe he is the top 3 fastest but I think Ruiz and Iron Mike have to be up there, then again it all depends if we are talking hand speed, because overall Ali was way faster then those two, but they have faster hands
clean hearts win, so happy for you champ was praying you would win. Hated how so many people turned on you just after 1 bad night at the office, i cried when you lost and so glad you came back and proved everyone wrong and now a part of a short list of fighters to win an immediate rematch, legacy shit for real

What a come back.. lot of boxing greats like foreman Roy jones said he should stay away from Andy Ruiz. Look what this man did. Never question this mans heart ever.
@@itsmemario1514 he’s not gonna get a chance to fight AJ, the blueprint to beat Wilder is there, get rid of his left jab with movement and feints, and just extent our one of you arms at an angle so his right doesn’t land, and then work on him, he will fade with every punch, just keep the pressure on him without getting lazy and you will beat him, AJ can do that, Povetkin can do that, Ruiz can do that, Usyk can do that
After Joshua's loss, I watched almost all the highlights of Andy's fights he won by knockout available on TH-cam as if I was the one about to fight a rematch with Ruiz. I noticed one consistent thing AJ mentioned in this video: A HIT BEHIND THE BACK OF THE OPPONENT'S EAR! (He probably didn't read it but, I expressed to him in his DM on IG on 1st October) |'m super glad AJ fought smarter the second time and regained all his belts! AJ is phenomenal not only because he is a great fighter but a champion with great ability and willingness to learn. Confident in his ability yet humble. He will go far in life (all aspects). Being underestimated is one of AJ's super powers! AFRICA STAND UP!!!
"...play how you want to get played" ...I'm glad he mentioned those Ruiz back of the head punches. He certainly didn't like the same dirty tricks when they were used on him.
Damian in the first fight Andy trainer was telling him to hit AJ in the head and I hate that most of the people turned their back on Joshua this includes Fans, coaches, promoters, Andre ward, Lennox Lewis, George Forman, sugar ray, Tyson fury, Deontay wilder, some of them were saying don’t fight Ruiz and some were saying he going to get knocked out. I hope AJ becomes undisputed champion that’s what he was trying to do for a few years. Now newcomer have come into the division like usyk.
My whole family love you to bits, Champ. You have it within yourself to be the best ever. Just keep on this new path and never lose focus. You are a champion by all ramifications of the word. Respect!
Tell you the truth I was scared for you. After your initial fight with him I started looking at his old fights and I realised how dangerous he is on the inside. That left me wondering what your strategy will be... You came back with the greatest strategy and it was well executed and controlled. Well done and congratulations. All the way from South Africa, your greatest fan
Tino Kunga yeah he was ill, he did an interview after the rematch where he said he was ill but he didn’t want to say it after the loss. probably because people would think he was making excuses. but he even had to go as far as getting an operation done.
I have no problem with the tactics that Joshua used to get the win. What annoys me if the amount of people that say Ruiz got lucky. That Joshua took the fight lightly ect if that was the case Joshua wouldn’t have needed to completely change his style for the rematch.
Seeing the first loss really almost made me cry, I waited earnestly for the rematch day, I never stopped believing in u. You may be the fighting pride of the UK, but back here in Naija 🇳🇬, you are our superhero. I even cried the more seeing you win again. It felt like my birthday 😂. Congratulations to AJ the Champ.
@Banky: Dude I feel your Energy about Anthony Joshua, those words were inspiring, that was the reason I DM you 11 month after..AJ is an inspiration to me and alot of young folks in Lagos..Banky Stay Bless. Much love from Lagos.
He is right about the punching in the back of the head, surprised the ref didn’t deduct points for that in the second fight, Ruiz was even doing it a lot more intentionally this time than in the first fight too.
I think it was your most beautiful fight Champ, although I know that many people don't consider it masterful. It was a show of incredible maturity, experience and boxing intelligence. Amazing technical and mental advantage. This is the beauty of boxing 💪🏾❤️ Congratulations from Poland 💋
I like AJ because for me as a British man he represents someone who's come from the struggle and made good, and we need more of this. there's so much senseless violence and knife crime in the UK these days, the more figure heads we have helping the future generation the better
kevon slims why not though? Would you honestly risk getting hit by another lucky punch and potentially lose it all to get a knockout or box a perfect game plan that 100% guarantees your win?
AJ is one of the most SINCERE student of the game!most dedicated,most humble,most less self praise,most real and most loyal. All the best my brother in a millon years to come. One of my all time great boxer! Great vid btw.
David Fisher The boxer takes care of business in the ring. The management takes care of business outside the ring. It’s same Dave. And you know this. Direct your question to Eddie Hearn. He probably has a response for you.
@@okeyokorie8548 a bloke of morality wouldn't choose that backward place. I love AJ but I dont agree with his decision or his choice to constantly praise the medieval kingdom whilst there. He is old enough to make his own choices
The Lion's Den has natured my champ to be what he is today...he truly is an African Lion...the king of the ring, the king of the jungle, the Lion King himself.
Keep it real. That’s true, wilder is a freak puncher with bombs. But joshua wasn’t running away from Ruiz, it was tactical boxing, you can’t hit what you can’t catch. Joshua would have had a reason for doing everything that he did. That night he took it back to basics, of your not in front of your opponent then they can’t hit you.
When he doesn't get a trim people should get scared coz that's when he's in Super Saien BEAST MODE.🦁🦁 😂💯💯 He should just save all future opponents the anxiety and stay like that so they know for sure to be afraid for their lives. One of the All Time Greatest and we get to witness it right here and now. Amazing times in Sports.2️⃣❎🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🤺🤺🤺
I have nothing but Love & Respect for you my Brotha. No matter WIN Or LOSE ever! I support you all the way as a MAN & as a Human being, the ones that every doughted you for 1 second are fools and only there when your up* Us real 1's are here regardless My G✊
My most memorable moments is when A.J became Olympic gold medalist and it was pure clean boxing who got GREAT BRITAIN a gold medal in heavy weight boxing. TO GOD BE THE GLORY THAT A.J IS BACK TO WHAT MAKES HIM THE BEST ...BOXING .
@@LO-lj9ys yeah he was beaten twice, one of the fights he was soundly beaten from what I remember, he shouldn't of got anything. but he's quite likely the best HW now regardless, its between him and fury anyway until some new blood steps up.
It wasn't the win, it was the style in which he did it. Joshua did everything people said he couldn't do. Ruiz wasn't prepared and let's face it wasn't as lucky as he was in the first fight. That being said, I don't know many fighters that would still be conscious from that right, let alone standing.
Jayson William wilder has a terrible record. He fought all those bums for a good record number. When he fought tyson, it showed that he cant vs someone good. Not enough? Did you know he only vsed 2 people in his pro career that were in the top 10?
@Jayson William Joshua has a better resume then any other heavyweight currently, Wilder been fighting bums I support him but he needs to step up the competition. Joshua been facing the deadly top tier fighters in the divison and beating them.
My respect for this guy increased tremendously after I saw how he handled that humiliating defeat to Ruiz. Didn't make excuses, gave Ruiz his props and then went straight back to work. Ignored the negative chatter and focused on improving the things that were within his control like a G. Respect.
He’s always had good hand speed, it’s just that he bulked up to much in recent years, go back and watch his earlier pro fights, he was crazy fast in those.
Watch his early fights his hand speed has always been really fast specially when throwing his combos he’s the best finisher in the div for me. He did bulk up to much though and he lost allot of movement through it.
Anthony Joshua, two time heavyweight champion of the world. You are absolutely right on Andy Ruiz Jr using a rabbit punch behind the head. Great job for pointing that out and you actually did something about it this time around. That was the kind of punches he keep on using during the first fight and he got away with it. Andy Ruiz Jr is a crooked boxer and you've exposed him to his next opponent.
Sarah Hatcher don’t hate, congratulate. Tbh, Ruiz is a nice guy and a good boxer but this 2nd fight shows that he’s clearly not in the same league as AJ. There’s no need for a rematch as it’ll be the same result. AJ has shown in the ring that’s he’s a well rounded boxer. Outside the ring, he’s the people’s champ whether he fights or not - a noble man of character and wisdom. It’s AJ 1st, Fury 2nd & Wilder 3rd.
Not hating just speaking facts. Your clearly being a fanboy. Cuz of all the heavy weights Anthony Joshua is the most vulnerable. First is fury second wilder third Joshua. Bottom line Andy Ruiz jrs win was way better and humiliated Joshua. That's what people will always remember. So Joshua knows he has to run it back. Cause at the end of the day it's 1 to 1. Facts!
Great Documentary for the history... Well done great 2X Heavyweight Champion. I have never doubted your potential ... We are definitely making more history
I remember June 1st the day u lost, I was on a night shift duty at a hotel where am working, on getting to know u lost to Andy, after watching the video replay I failed sick watching u take those punches, I was sick for almost 2 weeks I couldn't help myself I was so down emotionally and psychological, I took some days out of work to get myself. I thank God Dec 7th you reclaimed those belts back, I was actually the happiest person till now. I will always continue to be ur fan, love you so much 2X AJ. MERRY CHRISTMAS
I can watch this a million time and not get bored. AJ you’re a champion inside out. Your legacy will forever be told in the world history. I’m so happy for you Omo Ijebu
As I watched him carry his cute son with a father’s love I had tears down my eyes. Cos after all the dangers of fighting I comes down to being able to go back to your family in good health and 💕 God bless all boxers 🙏🏿
I was thinking from the start that he was going to BOX he showed it with parker and also had an olympic gold which is set and aimed around the sweet science. I've been a fan since before fighting parker and i'll be here for a while to come. #2X
Anyone giving Joshua stick don’t know boxing, this guy is a role model to me and anyone in boxing, how you should represent yourself as a champion. And 100% gives the boxing the respect it deserves. Can I get a 2X!
Christopher Gonzalez he is a role model and anyone who disagrees is because they like to hate on him. Even people who I know that dislike him admit he’s a role model.
I love u so much, I couldn't get myself to watch d first fight after the loss. Everything around me suffered for 3months, I kept praying for you and finally at the end you proved everyone wrong and made me and everyone proud. Thank you AJ. Humble Champ
Glad AJ connected with his roots going to #Nigeria and going back to the endz he grew up in Watford. Sometimes that's what you got to do. You've got to go backwards to get you back on track. 👊🏿✊🏿
Looking forward to seeing those belts when you’re back home in Nigeria 🇳🇬 big fan keep us posted I look forward to seeing our champion home with those belts you promised us you would when you came home and you did come show us why you have our blood and fighting spirit. Big up champ
@@dylvasey come on mate don't be unfortunate! Man reps both countries, He proudly represents both the British and Nigerian flag. I've watched him say that he came back to Nigeria many times when he was younger, and he also attended a boarding school in Nigeria for a short time. AJ is British. AJ is Nigerian. AJ is for the whole world #AJBXNG
I can imagine the PRESSURE going in to that rematch it was huge and to go there and come out good at the end is unbelievable not a lots people believe he can do it but he did it in style!! I’m so happy 😀 got the champ he deserved to remain on top oh f the division no question and I also get my early Xmas present 💝 😁😁😁 that fight been put on repeat in our house 🏠 since sky uploaded it on TH-cam thx 🙏 champ and continue giving us good fights
Congratulations Anthony on well controlled fight in The re match against Ruiz Jr , congratulations on becoming a 2x heavyweight champion of the world AJ
Wilder got his whooped by tyson, yet they react like it didnt happen. He fucked him but judges got that paycheck. This'time around lets hope the judges dont smoke some shit.
@Tren Kokoko A real fight ? sorry do people in those real fights you're on about have 12 week training camps? surely you aint on about a street fight 🙄 nobody's that stupid.
@Tren Kokoko MMA is not a real fight, a real fight is ball kicking, eye pokes, biting, scratching, picking up objects and beating on each other, that's a real fight, no real fight has 12 weeks to prepare, your point is irrelevant and shouldn't expressed.
The best heavyweight champion of the world, your proof those haters wrong that you can do everything in the ring, you shows the best skills,🏴 🏴🇳🇬🇳🇬❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Actually the proof is in a trilogy because if im Not mistaken it's 1and1. Be fair to and give us the legitimate fight to put it all to rest .. prove it

Tell you the truth I was scared for you. After your initial fight with him I started looking at his old fights and I realised how dangerous he is on the inside. That left me wondering what your strategy will be... You came back with the greatest strategy and it was well executed and controlled. Well done and congratulations. All the way from South Africa, your greatest fan
Same way I felt
He also looked very ill
Tino Kunga yeah he was ill, he did an interview after the rematch where he said he was ill but he didn’t want to say it after the loss. probably because people would think he was making excuses. but he even had to go as far as getting an operation done.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💕

Eyy AJ Philippines Loves you as well
How can you not like AJ? He's such a humble soul. Blessings my brother. Lots of love coming from jamaica.
some people are nasty at heart, they have no soul. They are nothing but poison.
I love that for every one hater there's 10 supporters❤️ love ya
When Fury out classes Klitschko it's a masterclass in boxing, when AJ beats Ruiz fair and square it's running away. Make up your minds Fury fans.
As a fury fan I must say AJ put on a clinic that night and people that say aj ran the whole night don't know shit about boxing

I have no problem with the tactics that Joshua used to get the win. What annoys me if the amount of people that say Ruiz got lucky. That Joshua took the fight lightly ect if that was the case Joshua wouldn’t have needed to completely change his style for the rematch.
Seeing the first loss really almost made me cry, I waited earnestly for the rematch day, I never stopped believing in u. You may be the fighting pride of the UK, but back here in Naija 🇳🇬, you are our superhero. I even cried the more seeing you win again. It felt like my birthday 😂. Congratulations to AJ the Champ.
@Banky: Dude I feel your Energy about Anthony Joshua, those words were inspiring, that was the reason I DM you 11 month after..AJ is an inspiration to me and alot of young folks in Lagos..Banky Stay Bless. Much love from Lagos.
Till date I don't have the boldness to watch Aj first lost. 😪
Believing in yourself is the hardest part. Regardless of whether anyone supports you or not, it’s your own self that matters the most.

@@raya5090 and his burritos
He is right about the punching in the back of the head, surprised the ref didn’t deduct points for that in the second fight, Ruiz was even doing it a lot more intentionally this time than in the first fight too.
AT TV That's wilder speciality also he does that before he finishes guys off.
@@thew4rrior5code In what fight did Wilder deliberately punch someone in the back of the head to get a ko?

I think it was your most beautiful fight Champ, although I know that many people don't consider it masterful. It was a show of incredible maturity, experience and boxing intelligence. Amazing technical and mental advantage. This is the beauty of boxing 💪🏾❤️ Congratulations from Poland 💋
Aleksandra Łukawska That is call a masterpiece performance. Haters are going to hate.
Aleksandra Łukawska beautiful words so nice of you
I like AJ because for me as a British man he represents someone who's come from the struggle and made good, and we need more of this. there's so much senseless violence and knife crime in the UK these days, the more figure heads we have helping the future generation the better
Stop. You did not come from his struggle. Cute sentiment but fake.
Such an inspiration we need more people like aj
Above all - he showed great mental toughness.
And fear
@Jakie Jo A guy tko you and you out jab him as revenge?😭😭😭
kevon slims everyone knew he had knockout power but no one would assume he could box like that though, so which is better u decide
@@makaveli7145 If a guy mugs you for your belts you don’t call the police to get them back like AJ did.
kevon slims why not though? Would you honestly risk getting hit by another lucky punch and potentially lose it all to get a knockout or box a perfect game plan that 100% guarantees your win?
AJ is one of the most SINCERE student of the game!most dedicated,most humble,most less self praise,most real and most loyal.
All the best my brother in a millon years to come.
One of my all time great boxer!
Great vid btw.
Just a shame he sold out to such a horrific regime. Could've made the same money in a non barbaric backward country
David Fisher Perhaps you should direct this question to Eddie Hearn?
@@okeyokorie8548 shame you believe AJ is so weak and dumb that he just goes with what Eddie hearn thinks. I think AJ has more about him than that
David Fisher The boxer takes care of business in the ring. The management takes care of business outside the ring. It’s same Dave. And you know this. Direct your question to Eddie Hearn. He probably has a response for you.
@@okeyokorie8548 a bloke of morality wouldn't choose that backward place. I love AJ but I dont agree with his decision or his choice to constantly praise the medieval kingdom whilst there. He is old enough to make his own choices
The Lion's Den has natured my champ to be what he is today...he truly is an African Lion...the king of the ring, the king of the jungle, the Lion King himself.
AJ is so humble and easy to like. Great personality and the love his country shows him is what makes him a true warrior. 🥊🥊🥊
2X TIME! What a masterclass performance.
All that spins through my head everyday is "oooh anthony joooshua" 😂😂❤️
FORM IS TEMPORARY CLASS IS PERMANENT. Riding wid you ALL DA WAY AJ. !!! Keeping inspiring our young people please. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🔥🔥🔥
You’re not only a great boxer but more like an amayzing human and we love u❤️
You the man Anthony. RESPECT.
Down under Reactions BOMBSQUAAAAD!!!!
to be proved
The man has already proved himself time and time again. One loss ain’t nothin. It builds character, joshua always knew he would get that title back.
Down under Reactions Wilder would punch 🤜🏿 right through that dude.! He ran all night from Ruiz.. He is so garbage
Keep it real. That’s true, wilder is a freak puncher with bombs. But joshua wasn’t running away from Ruiz, it was tactical boxing, you can’t hit what you can’t catch. Joshua would have had a reason for doing everything that he did. That night he took it back to basics, of your not in front of your opponent then they can’t hit you.
you can tell all he was focused on was getting his belts back, man didn't even get a trim before the fight
When he doesn't get a trim people should get scared coz that's when he's in Super Saien BEAST MODE.🦁🦁 😂💯💯 He should just save all future opponents the anxiety and stay like that so they know for sure to be afraid for their lives. One of the All Time Greatest and we get to witness it right here and now. Amazing times in Sports.2️⃣❎🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🤺🤺🤺

@@LO-lj9ys How do those lemons taste?
@@LO-lj9ys yeah he was beaten twice, one of the fights he was soundly beaten from what I remember, he shouldn't of got anything. but he's quite likely the best HW now regardless, its between him and fury anyway until some new blood steps up.

AJ as a champ just feels right . He was made for this.
You deserve all the greatest things in this world
You are the man who always motivated me. Thank you AJ. Keep going.
It wasn't the win, it was the style in which he did it. Joshua did everything people said he couldn't do. Ruiz wasn't prepared and let's face it wasn't as lucky as he was in the first fight. That being said, I don't know many fighters that would still be conscious from that right, let alone standing.
How is dropping someone 4 times and making them quit lucky
honestly AJ should never lose to Ruiz if they fight 100 times. it was just a perfect storm of nonsense that allowed it to happen in the first place.
He should never have lost in the first place but oh well u learn
Darkness like what? Sounds like you making excuses for AJ

Best heavyweight 🥊
Ko.King. Nah he’s not he’s good though
Jayson William wilder has a terrible record. He fought all those bums for a good record number. When he fought tyson, it showed that he cant vs someone good. Not enough? Did you know he only vsed 2 people in his pro career that were in the top 10?
@Jayson William Joshua has a better resume then any other heavyweight currently, Wilder been fighting bums I support him but he needs to step up the competition. Joshua been facing the deadly top tier fighters in the divison and beating them.
WILDER
Jayson William and who has he defended it against? Ortiz and fury are the only good people he vsed. He is only defending against bums
Clean hearts win! God bless you! I'm very happy for you!
I can watch this clip a hundred times and never get tired of watching it. A champ with a good heart and a lovely character . Stay blessed
My respect for this guy increased tremendously after I saw how he handled that humiliating defeat to Ruiz. Didn't make excuses, gave Ruiz his props and then went straight back to work. Ignored the negative chatter and focused on improving the things that were within his control like a G. Respect.
Great post man! AJ showed real character.
Faxx my brother
I don't know if that's just me but Aj's hand speed improved a lot
He’s always had good hand speed, it’s just that he bulked up to much in recent years, go back and watch his earlier pro fights, he was crazy fast in those.
@@AnimeTenshou He stopped focusing on speed but im glad the old AJ is back
Watch his early fights his hand speed has always been really fast specially when throwing his combos he’s the best finisher in the div for me. He did bulk up to much though and he lost allot of movement through it.
OmG stfu you are everywhere
Anthony Joshua, two time heavyweight champion of the world. You are absolutely right on Andy Ruiz Jr using a rabbit punch behind the head. Great job for pointing that out and you actually did something about it this time around. That was the kind of punches he keep on using during the first fight and he got away with it. Andy Ruiz Jr is a crooked boxer and you've exposed him to his next opponent.
breezenking glad AJ won as much as the next guy, but fanboying to the point of denying Ruiz his clear as day win last time is another level
Lol andy ruiz is better as anthony joshua
Facts he destroyed Joshua that first fight. That's what people will always remember.
Sarah Hatcher don’t hate, congratulate. Tbh, Ruiz is a nice guy and a good boxer but this 2nd fight shows that he’s clearly not in the same league as AJ. There’s no need for a rematch as it’ll be the same result. AJ has shown in the ring that’s he’s a well rounded boxer. Outside the ring, he’s the people’s champ whether he fights or not - a noble man of character and wisdom. It’s AJ 1st, Fury 2nd & Wilder 3rd.
Not hating just speaking facts. Your clearly being a fanboy.
Cuz of all the heavy weights Anthony Joshua is the most vulnerable.
First is fury second wilder third Joshua.
Bottom line Andy Ruiz jrs win was way better and humiliated Joshua. That's what people will always remember.
So Joshua knows he has to run it back. Cause at the end of the day it's 1 to 1. Facts!
Great Documentary for the history... Well done great 2X Heavyweight Champion. I have never doubted your potential ... We are definitely making more history
I remember June 1st the day u lost, I was on a night shift duty at a hotel where am working, on getting to know u lost to Andy, after watching the video replay I failed sick watching u take those punches, I was sick for almost 2 weeks I couldn't help myself I was so down emotionally and psychological, I took some days out of work to get myself.
I thank God Dec 7th you reclaimed those belts back, I was actually the happiest person till now.
I will always continue to be ur fan, love you so much 2X AJ.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
The strongest warriors have the softest smiles ☺️
I can watch this a million time and not get bored. AJ you’re a champion inside out. Your legacy will forever be told in the world history. I’m so happy for you Omo Ijebu
We love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🇸🇦
As I watched him carry his cute son with a father’s love I had tears down my eyes. Cos after all the dangers of fighting I comes down to being able to go back to your family in good health and 💕 God bless all boxers 🙏🏿
Congrats from Mexico to England. Very intelligent fight by AJ, stay humble champ!
Great to see AJ back at the top.
I was thinking from the start that he was going to BOX he showed it with parker and also had an olympic gold which is set and aimed around the sweet science. I've been a fan since before fighting parker and i'll be here for a while to come. #2X
Anyone giving Joshua stick don’t know boxing, this guy is a role model to me and anyone in boxing, how you should represent yourself as a champion. And 100% gives the boxing the respect it deserves. Can I get a 2X!
Dean wood represent yourself as a champion by ducking DW and teaming up with fury who’s a future opponent? Dope.
Role model 😂
Christopher Gonzalez he is a role model and anyone who disagrees is because they like to hate on him. Even people who I know that dislike him admit he’s a role model.
Jesus the amount of salt on display here
@I know I’m gay when I say this but He never cheated😂😂 He gets checked multiple times in a month so do your research silly prick
I love u so much, I couldn't get myself to watch d first fight after the loss. Everything around me suffered for 3months, I kept praying for you and finally at the end you proved everyone wrong and made me and everyone proud. Thank you AJ. Humble Champ
I was literally counting the days for the rematch so that I could watch you regain those belts! Lets keep going AJ💪❤️
All that training paid off well done. TWO TIME!!! Can I get Undisputed Heavey weight Champion of the world? Lets Gooo!!!
THE FIRST TIME WAS SO NICE, I HAD TO DO IT TWICE
Real inspiring guy
the shot when he was wearing 4 belts gave me so many chills
good stuff aj im excited to see your journey
Where cut my emotions was where he was with his son and hugged him. That moment cut me
Glad AJ connected with his roots going to #Nigeria and going back to the endz he grew up in Watford. Sometimes that's what you got to do. You've got to go backwards to get you back on track. 👊🏿✊🏿
Looking forward to seeing those belts when you’re back home in Nigeria 🇳🇬 big fan keep us posted I look forward to seeing our champion home with those belts you promised us you would when you came home and you did come show us why you have our blood and fighting spirit. Big up champ
Hahahaha ..... He visited you once and all of a sudden its his home? Come on mate, you know it and I know it .... He's British.
@@dylvasey come on mate don't be unfortunate! Man reps both countries, He proudly represents both the British and Nigerian flag. I've watched him say that he came back to Nigeria many times when he was younger, and he also attended a boarding school in Nigeria for a short time. AJ is British. AJ is Nigerian.

Could say that to Ruiz too. He did gain something.. 🙊
I can imagine the PRESSURE going in to that rematch it was huge and to go there and come out good at the end is unbelievable not a lots people believe he can do it but he did it in style!!
