The vast majority are saying AJ loves the sound of his own voice, talks shyte, and his career was always just a carefully planned business model, and only the casuals are supporting him. Just the same as AJ's support for the criminal organisation BLM, and how he made his speech and told black people to only shop at black owned businesses. Intelligent people knew all along, BLM was just a criminal con, so the three lesbians could make millions of personal fortune then disappear. AJ, like yourself and the other casuals, are so thick they believed it, and publically supported it. The fact most of the comments here support AJ, is simply down to two things : 1 - this is an AJ dick-riding channel where not many real boxing fans come, and 2 - you probably delete most of the comments you don't agree with.

It's very unlikely but even if he does become a "three time champion" he will never achieve what Usyk has. AJ should focus on completing a trilogy with Ruiz before he talks about being a champion again. He got absolutely destroyed by Ruiz in the first fight and then outpointed a massively overweight and untrained Ruiz in the second fight. Its extremely unlikely that AJ will defeat an even semi-fit Ruiz in a third fight.

The way Fury's career is going it could t be only a matter of time before he is beaten IF he is FORCED to fight a serious challenger, like Joshua is in the process of becoming again or fight the unified hw champion Oleksandr Usyk. Tyson Fury had better fight someone who is recognized as a highly ranked and skilled pro boxer soon. If not, the boxing community will probably call for him to be stripped of the title he has. In the meantime Anthony Joshua is staying active under new trainer Derrick James while Fury's trainer (?) Sugarhill Steward has been busy training other fighters but not Tyson Fury .

He’s very deep. Philosophical…. Sometimes I wonder if he over thinks and over complicates things but on the other hand he’s Olympic gold medalist, 2 time heavyweight champion of the world, unified the division and faced more top ten contenders than the top of the he’a weight division combined.

What you meant to say was : 'none of the AJ dick-riding casuals' slagged him off when he was on the rise. Real boxing fans knew he was untested, and had a protected, carefully guided path by Hearn. And, I think you'll find, the point where he suddenly lost the support of millions, was when he made his unforgivable speech, supporting the criminal organisation BLM, and telling black people to only shop at black owned businesses. AJ is a thick twit, and should never have tried to bring politics into sport, especially when it's supporting what intelligent people knew all along, ie that BLM was a criminal organisation, conning thick clowns out of money so the three lesbians could buy themselves lots of massive houses and make personal fortunes. That showed his true intelligence, and that is why people turned against him, because the intelligent people could see he was a thick twit who was brainwashed.

⁠@@marcus6775he did on one judges scorecard 115-113 to AJ so he was closer to outboxing him than people realise. I had AJ one round up after the ninth and then Usyk took the fight away in the championship rounds so 115-113 to Usyk for me which one judge scored it. If he could have continued the good work he did in the ninth he might just have done it. This is what he tried to explain in this interview about breaking an opponent down. It took him until the ninth round to get there but then just as he thought he was there Usyk’s class and AJ’s lack of stamina told. I think that was what led to the utter despair at the end of the fight.

I still like AJ but im just not sure how genuine he is anymore… Good luck to both fighters though 🥊

The philosopher

AJ we your fans will ever stick to you forever.When you look around you, definitely you will see us around you.God Almighty be with you and take you above your heart desires.3X heavyweight for sure🤜

I agree in one sense with him about how many times you can go to the well… and heavyweights rely on size and power but fury is big and powerful too but he got his fundamentals nailed as a junior. That being said AJ is not that type of fighter so he maybe he shouldn’t try to be something he isnt IMO For example what do you think wouldhave happened if AJ fought his natural style for longer periods vs Usyk?

The man said the rabbit and the hare 🤣🤣. It's the tortoise and the hare

AJ one of the GOATs fuck the haters this man a real one ☝🏼

He speaks and I hear Derrick James. This is a very good sign

AJ certainly comes across as more focussed this time around, but I am concerned that he still sees it necessary to go back to basics and learn the fundamentals of boxing again. I personally do not think he needs to go back to basics. He did not mention his stamina once during the interview. He indirectly referenced it by talking about how long he can hit a punch bag for etc, but never directly mentioned his stamina, which imo is his main weakness. I think AJ was a better fighter several years ago and he can learn a lot from his first fight against Whyte and in particular, his fight against Klitschko. He was quite economical in both of those fights and chose his punches and attacks very well. He was a lot calmer and more calculated. The strange thing though in both of those fights, was that he got clipped and his stamina failed him at certain points. I would be getting AJ so fit if I was his coach and getting him to focus on his jab more, move his head from side to side more and not to stoop. He can learn from watching how Fury bounces on his feet and leans back slightly, which makes him less prone to being hit, but more able to retreat when needed - a bit like guerilla warfare, hit and run strategy. AJ is also prone to getting hit on the side of his head and Ruiz and Usyk highlighted this weakness. AJ will need to be aware of that against Whyte as one hard punch to the side of his head will buckle his legs again. Whyte has a decent jab too, but punches from his hips, so AJ just needs to keep his distance, work the jab, conserve his energy and be clinical in his attack phase. I am sure AJ will win the fight, probably with a straight jab and upper cut combo, more than likely in rounds 8 to 10 imo as he will not want to burn up in the earlier rounds. If AJ can improve on his stamina and learn the guerilla warfare style of hit and retreat, then I see nothing stopping him on his way to his 3 time moment. All imo of course.

I hear what he's saying but he's wrong, I say different fights for different nights, the aggressive AJ works well for certain opponents and the calculated AJ works well for certain opponents. He should have been aggressive with usyk I saw how he hurt him during the fight at one point, and with dillian Whyte both styles will work. Anthony Joshua is my favourite boxer but I feel he thinks too much and sometimes overthinking makes you make the wrong decisions. You have to be calculated with your METHODS, he wants to appear smart rather than the stereotypical hood black man the media makes us to be which is good but he shouldn't need to prove anything just be himself. Overall good interview the camera should have shown you alot more couldn't see your face clearly at times just ajs good questions asked though.

2:13 he starts sounding like Derrick James. Think about how Errol fight and what AJ is saying. Win or lose their mindset will bring them far

💯💯👍🏿

CMOOOOOONNN AJ WITH THAT 1 2 BOOM BOOM BOOM

All. Is. Well.

To be fair to AJ he has an impressive CV compared with T F however it also reminds me of hearns hypocrisy when he used to compare Amir khan's CV to kell brook. That's real talk.

The rabbit & the hare? Lol.

Big talk from AJ

He sounds like hes gonna be the Heavy weight mayweather

This is the AJ that this man has evolved into and the man he was always going to evolve into with the mixture of grit, hardwork, bravery, hate towards him and lofty expectations from the outside world. He has finally evolved into his final form. This is a man who knows who he is and what he has to do. This is why I liked what the title of his latest doc video on his KZread channel was called “I know what it takes”. That is very telling of his mindset. He was already a role model but in the beginning he was just doing it to show himself as a positive person facing challenges head on with a smile and conquering his obstacles with strong willpower. Now is the time that he truly becomes a lasting inspirational figure for many generations as he is now showing that the rough edges can be refined with humility, that it is okay to question yourself in order to challenge yourself to be better, that you do not have to pretend to be a beast or warrior all the time to prove you’re tough. That you can actually go from novice to becoming so good at your chosen field by learning from your losses while not letting your victories change the man you are. This man is a true role model in every sense of the saying because as he once said in the ring “he is not perfect but is trying”. In a world where people expect you to be perfect version of what they want you to be, here is a man showing that he has overcome the feeling of wanting to do it for leotard is now very comfortable knowing that doing it for yourself is good enough for you, and that is all that matters in the end.

@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 exactly my point. Do you know who else sounds just like him? Most successful and well thinking people out there today. Probable your manager at work and the CEO of the company you work for if you work that is. The people you meet at your bank and any customer service assistant. It’s called eloquence, being professional and delivering a lesson behind every message.

I don't understand your comments. AJ is brilliant and has done wonders for British boxing. Since he started trying to outbox folk, he barely won a rematch and lost twice to Usyk. You want him to try outbox Fury? Not get hit by Wilder for 12 rounds? Dillian is gonna go at him honestly, old school. This fight will either spark the old AJ by a familiar foe, or..

Humble, respect, character but threw Usyks belts out of the ring and talks utter cringe half baked wisdom from rap lyrics. Its over and hes surrounded by people who will walk away when the damage really shows

Why you describing your life and projecting it onto someone else 😂. Yes he threw the belts and so what? Did he learn from it and move forward in life? Yes. Have you learnt from your life mistakes and moved forward? I’m guessing no as you sound like a really bitter person.

The 'yes' men around him will be saying "no".

He changed his style because people got in his head and he cares about what people think

around 4:40 AJ explains something that I wish more goofy critics would stop and listen to more carefully. He is correct: the boxers 'arc' is not actually chronological age, (esp. heavies) but the number of wars, the exhausting battle fights, the heavy punches and those long recoveries. Mayweather was well aware of this and IF he could, he's carry out the 'performance win' and sometimes yes a 'defining battle' had to happen. This is why Mayweather could go on for 48 high-level bouts AND 1 fake fight and then a dozen Exhibition Lotto fights well into his 40s. This is also why Dillian Whyte is a 'spent shell' and at 36 probably should have retired at least 1 bout before. He's "old" and his reflexes, the 'durability' are going due to wars, brutal slugfests, 'defining fights' for sure but his arc is now ending. AJ might be a jerk and says dumb stuff too BUT in this case he really knows what he's talking about, it's worth considering and a few of the relentless boo-birds need to hear it.

One of the more intelligent comments I've seen on a boxing channel. Most of the time, people are saying AJ should "just be aggressive" as if that solves everything. I do feel AJ should have worked more closely with Lennox Lewis as he knew the game inside out including the fundamentals. I don't know why he didn't pursue that path as it would have saved him a lot of trouble but there's probably more to the story than we know.

basically ur reaction time starts to slow down at the age of 24 varies a bit depending on each human, he used to be an instinctive warrior, amazing to watch but not sustainable in your 30s hopefully he finds his new form of boxing to work.

All the hate hes had is crazy. He brought boxing to a new place, brought a lot of new eyes to the sport, my son started boxing cause of AJ, he broke so many records, fought the best available, never took a "gimme" or easy fight, tried his best to unify, brought a lot of money into British and world boxing, but gets a lot of unfair stick. Tyson fury hasn't fought a mandatory in over 15 months, never defending his belts after klitschko, fought a load of tomato cans on his return to then get a shot at wilder, don't get me wrong, it was a hell of a story and incredible what he did to wilder, he wouldn't fight AJ cause he didn't want to wait 1 more week got contracts but literally ain't fought and waited a year to fight ngannou? Yet seems to constantly get a pass.

Simple! Because he’s frightened of getting knocked out again…
