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.

True warrior? Go and look up what that means It does not mean avoiding fights and taking protected easy fights
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
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.
Derrick keeps heat on FULL so it drives you through, builds stamina!!!
nice to see he's working hard, and not around yes men.
Let's go AJ
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
Aj and Ej there together 🔥

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.

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.

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.

@@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.
