RESPECT ANTHONY HEART LIKE A LION

[@SHADOWNINE79]

Tubsy malone Tyson needs to destroy about 150 pounds in bodyweight before that can happen.

[@lmfao8314]

Sharon Valentine that girl wants to black D

[@warrioroffpeace3673]

Sharon Valentine you mean respect to Klitcko, the man was 41 years and fought his heart out.

[@stickyvicky100]

He's the real deal

[@denirolondon8911]

stickyvicky100 holeyfield

[@stickyvicky100]

Tubsy malone , yawn........

[@stickyvicky100]

Tubsy malone sorry didn't realise I was talking to don king , I can tell by the way you talk , your an ulminac of knowledge on the noble art of boxing , gonna have to go now though, haven't finished reading my copy of the sun today , I'll let you get on and troll a few more videos, so you can give people insight into to your vast experience, don't wear your fingers out , cos as you said you can go on and on and ................

[@stickyvicky100]

Tubsy malone thank you for giving me your boxing knowledge, or lack of it you've hardly set this post alive on how you see the shortcomings of Anthony joshua, as of this time I grant you he still has a long way to go , and he's still young so he will make mistakes, but at this moment in time he can only beat who is in front of him , he beat klitschko who at the time looked far better than when he fought tyson fury, whether tyson gets back to his best, I don't know , but in my humble opinion, I think he would beat him , so now I've talked boxing to you , let's hope you can reply with something sensible 😚

[@stickyvicky100]

Tubsy malone that's more like it friends now , ye be good to see that , would be a cracking fight x

[@rhys_261]

Never thought I'd see mr Gilbert happy, or even clap someone!

[@nick260682]

You know a man is big (Greg Davies) when he's sat next to a 6'6" heavyweight boxer and he makes him look small.

[@CarterandKharaFunhouse]

YOU ARE AWESOME AJ!

[@kostass290]

I know the bitches love him and he is indeed a pretty good fighter but nowhere near the level of any of the Klitschko brothers, let's be serious here. I'm actually pretty surprised he didn't give Klitschko more credit cause keeping up with that stamina at 41 years of age IS a pretty big deal...

[@kingofthering3343]

He gave Klitschko a lot of credit, he always has done.

[@josephekeleokereke8718]

He did by saying that klitschko came up with incredible shape OK

[@legendofzeldabreathofthewi3716]

Well played (who saw russel brand vs anthony joshua in the recommended and was like ohhhh no)

[@gregmurphy1155]

Anthony Joshua is the best!! I wish him the best. He will be one of the greatest of all time!!

[@joannafs4333]

What a gorgeous guy Anthony is.

[@AntonioGazzaneo91]

good to see a champion who can handle himself in public and who is insightful, i was tired of all the big idiots being totally disrespectful in public

[@yesminbegum6996]

He is amazing! He has a heart of a lion! It looked like he was crying, his eyes were wet and red.

[@MrGrobar75]

Anthony is a really nice person.He did show that after the boxfight against W.Klitschko already.He is a role model. Keep it up....would like to see a 2nd fight against Klitschko. Peace.

[@dshafesz]

Very likable champion.

[@mj-cc1rn]

isn't he just the perfect man

[@COBEob]

lool say that to his face big man

[@hiphop99ful]

Gero_ Marc jeaulos will get u know where mate

[@mj-cc1rn]

Jealousy is a very nasty trait to have. Did you watch this video just to be negative? Sad times

[@hiphop99ful]

m j yes there is some sick people that what racisists are sick in the heart hope he gets better

[@hiphop99ful]

Fades Spriteman there some nerthandel people still but most people have grown past that stage and enjoy all the different people and places the world has to offer

[@brandon8746]

Anyone else notice AJ has a silver tooth at 0:41

[@Joker-yw9hl]

Good spot

[@aggakagandauff]

Brandon I saw that.. It's new he never had that before.

[@imojenfreeman1909]

Brandon it might be wear he had a fight

[@irisssss604]

Probably had a root canal or some sort of dental procedure done on that tooth in the past. I have the same thing from a root canal.

[@MECEY3284]

Brandon your late that's been there.

[@agee7777]

yes graham its becuase i am younger.

[@agee7777]

but i only made one comment. get yourself off to anger management.

[@joeburrows6]

Respect to the 2 best heavyweights in history. God bless you both. You are both legends in my eyes.

[@yashshetty4490]

What a lad

[@EndGondeLL]

He's a very humble person

[@shazadhussain6571]

top man AJ

[@avaneeshtiwari7624]

I really respect him

[@stealthyt6341]

ANTHONY IS A LEGEND

[@rocketlaunch99]

Not yet

[@lav773]

new boss about town for real 👊

[@SotonSam]

Grahams 'wtf' face is amazing. Watched the fight. Seems like a proper down to earth nipper. All the luck to Joshua

[@SASMADBRUV7]

He seems like such a sound guy

[@Nawsey]

I do love wladimir me

[@A1KX100]

My big bro 😎🙌🏾👊🏾💯💯

[@ianbentley7276]

a very likeable man.

[@goldeagle8051]

He’s surprisingly eloquent after all those hits to the head.

[@jonlolesio3117]

Respect uso

[@hillsikem4121]

Everyone on this comment section is just concerned about the interview but i'm really concerned about his cuteness. I'm a man but I love AJ!

[@meekaillim]

man's left eye is looking a bit red still

[@meekaillim]

Mo Deria of course, Vince Staples is dope

[@minimoman432]

Big Fish Theory will probs be best rap album of the year following DAMN

[@meekaillim]

Mo Deria i saw the tracklisting and idk what to expect, honestly Vince has the potential to top AABA and DAMN. If he plays it right, just have to wait till June 23rd

[@davidbrine8804]

Yeah man big fish theory seemed bare experimental but was still banging and trust aj looks blazed in 1 eye

[@aaronjohnson4820]

"Im a fighting man" that's a fury quote

[@ChickenCiaoMain]

Someone explain the vix and horse bit !?

[@aliirtizakhalid9763]

aj is very cool

[@richwiz2]

[@iLL3571]

He got that Denzel laugh

[@IamJacksColon4]

rachel weisz is so beautiful

[@LUCYDIAMONDBOXER1]

well rounded bloke. Has his head on his shoulders.... if it was under his arm, that would be spooky

[@ToonBadger1]

I know the Charles Martin fight was a mismatch, but AJ was the Champ going into this fight. I feel like a lot of interviewers don't really know that they way they talk.

[@ruylopez1039]

The BBC just ignoring the fact Tyson Fury beat Klitschko and made the heavyweight divison exciting again.

[@kingofthering3343]

Made the division more exciting? Maybe in terms of the fact that he was funny, but his style in the ring is more boring than anyone's. The Joshua-Klitschko fight had 2 million more views than the Klitschko-Fury fight (which was voted as the most boring heavyweight ever) and the Joshua fight won Fight of the Year Award. Plus, Joshua is boxing's cash cow right now, so I think it's more accurate to say that it is Joshua who has brought the heavyweight division back into the limelight, not Fury.

[@zayddepaor5182]

He is spot on with his self analysis of the fight here, age certainly played a role as Klitschko was not as fast as he usually is and Iess stamina than normal... But Joshua has more killer instinct than Klitschko, otherwise Klitschko is the superior boxer and should have really won, but he underestimated Joshua's ability to recover and so took his foot of the gas. Joshua does not necessarily win the rematch, he will likely be more aggressive eariler on... But so could Klitschko be more aggressive earlier this time, or more defensive and make Joshua walk onto something.

[@davidvillarreal8380]

he must face Deontay Wilder, now thats a real wild fight

[@h0lly_blue]

who's taller, Anthony or Greg

[@Roronoa2zoro]

According to wikipedia Greg is 203cm (6'8'') tall and Joshua is 198cm (6'6'')

[@unbornbum]

He's clearly not 6 foot 8, though he is noticeably taller then the 6ft6 Joshua so i'd say around 6ft6 and a half maybe 6ft7

[@woody46338]

Greg is every bit 6-8 if not more.look at him next to Richard Osman 6-7. he might even be close to 6-9.

[@ishmaelm1932]

bring this boy to the Americas. us Americans, Canadians and especially Latinos will knock his ass out.

[@mastrolegend9277]

Cool.

[@richardbryant3169]

Ishmael Moh, haha that's funny

[@jl8138]

So "character" is the new "much younger" 🙄

[@cognitivedissonance4413]

Well done Anthony but to try and pretend that it wasn't due to age, but character, is a little egotistical. Klitschko does not lack character, at all.

[@benpyzer5909]

Dillian Whyte got 903 the other day. Looked like Jooshua wasn't exactly trying though to be fair.

[@benpyzer5909]

Yeh they're not exactly high tech equipment.

[@donking5838]

It's definitely bullshit cos i'm an amateur boxer at super welterweight and I was in a pub the other day and got the highest score in there of 906, but I don't think for a minute I could hit harder than AJ, I think they're all different tbh

[@FifaBestia]

+Don King believe in yourself you'd knock him out

[@donking5838]

Oh yeah easy

[@vimtohasatoe1]

Ben Pyzer its not bs diff machines have diff sensors

[@uzairchowdhry4044]

Wilder has smashed more bums than graham norton

[@YOYO-oj8sx]

Please get on sir Andy Murray

[@teenentertainingtech6823]

2:00 bro..come on age does play a role..he is 42 dude.. testosterone levels drop a lot

[@RIXRADvidz]

weird as fuck, I've just watched an 8 out of 10 cats where they were talking about David Hay and all his brew ha ha and severed head t-shirt and then losing the bout because of a broken toe, and here Klitschko pops up on my feed again ......spooky weird....

[@Captain_Rhodes]

Fury would never have been asked on any of these shows. its interesting to see how the media has no interest in people who dont play the game.

[@TheGateKeeper001]

Love AJ, great kid, great character, however as any athlete knows there is a reason that 20 year old fighters beat 40 year old fighters, and it is youth, all else equal, it is youth. If this had been two 28 year old fighters its likely Klitschko.

[@WelshLefty]

Klichko should have one

[@riddley39]

Hang on a second....did that punch leave something on him? Seemed a bit wobbly

[@alibabasaed3426]

HW boxing is back,after the Kiltchko sisters made it boring.Enough respect 2 AJ.The Kiltchko sisters,had all the attributes 2 be one of the best in history,but they lost against journey men boxers.

[@jolie7439]

IS HE SINGLE lol jk well done to him I hope he's happier now! He's come so far!

[@GoogleUser-so7kl]

Eye of the Tiger Wilder is coming for you. He is not 41 ...he is a killa

[@danielxbox28]

To all the people saying klit would have done this done that.....Where was he at 19 fights??? And AJ isn't even in his prime.....

[@grimaffiliations3671]

what do you mean? Klitchko became world champion younger than Aj did

[@fineboy7742]

hmmmmmm

[@latenightgaming7264]

MR GILBERT!

[@lastanonymous2985]

Put me in. A ring with him and I will take him to the 12th round

[@lewis8494]

LASTANONYMOUS You will not take yourself to the 3rd round little man. Keep dreaming though, you might actually throw your first punch in a few years.

[@lewis8494]

LASTANONYMOUS Zoom in closer to my profile picture and you may actually be able to read it. Absolute melt.

[@lastanonymous2985]

GOLF WANG ooo a meme and melt? Wow original

[@Aj-tu4gv]

LASTANONYMOUS train and box, you might be able to fight him one day, no point chatting shit in the KZbin comments section it will get you nowhere.

[@clintfowler1526]

Ur definitely a Tyson fury burner

[@TheLastLogicalOne]

horses?, vicks?

[@bigal9761]

AJ isn't in his prime either yet. People are forgetting theres a lot he hasn't done yet. He's still gonna get a lot better. Non peak AJ beat a non peak klitschko

[@a12345678121]

Anthony is great humble fighter but boy he got lucky kilitchko gave him too much time but shit happens in boxing ..

[@TheFuktastic]

Dude looks much thinner than in competition.

[@ArsenicCriminal]

If vitali was in his corner and klitschko has some killer instinct he would have finished him in he sixth

[@kingofthering3343]

Vitali was in his corner...

[@youngboxing5557]

it looks like joshua is going to cry

[@mmgmask2666]

Ruiz made him slip 4 times

[@theguitarmaniac3150]

Na klitschko could of ko Joshua if vitil didn't say don't be so active

[@chirag77]

He looks mad tired.. get some sleep Champ

[@mohammedshafiq5097]

That last part made me cringe so much. Aj talking about horses😁.

[@rocketlaunch99]

27 Vs 41.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[@MrRussellMuscle]

Greg dwarfs Anthony

[@skhal8725]

MrRussellMuscle You should have gone to specsavers.

[@kingofthering3343]

He's literally 2 inches taller. AJ is 6'6" and Greg is 6'8". They're also probably roughly about the same weight, but AJ is mostly muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. I wouldn't exactly say he dwarfs him.

[@GoogleUser-so7kl]

Joshua trying to be me in this Show ....

[@joesphante7763]

Joshua does not want any part of Wilder.

[@axelschult2439]

so this 20 Year old Young beat a 41 Year Old Big Win.......

[@user-zm8nb8pk4n]

who the fook is that guy ??

[@SmoothRhythms]

I love AJ but of course it also was age... Fighting in round 11 against a man who is nearly 20 years older surely is a question of condition... saying it was nothing but character, dont get me wrong, of course he also needed a lot of, is simply wrong

[@aeonlincoln5474]

Klitschko hit him real hard, poor guy's eye still looks slightly swollen!

[@timmarshall33]

aeon lincoln don't remind klitschko about that uppercut tho damn

[@rudy1999]

Those were low power shots, Klitschko hit him extremely hard.

[@timmarshall33]

Rudy Cooper that right hand was just sweet from klitschko.

[@johndevnoza4223]

well this is all about age difference. nothing more. as lomachenko said when u are up to 32 years, ur speed goes down, well really? klitschko 41, joshua 27 if u ask me its shame , if antony is that so good, he could beat klitchko more faster then 11 round LOL. older man vs healthyest boy what a ******* !

[@Mandology575]

Rachel Weiss is just picturing being underneath him in bed.

[@willwork4superpowazz]

Only challenge I see for him is that yank Deontay Wilder, hate him, but he is very disciplined and possibly much scarier power than Joshua.

[@cyphersimp5966]

its okay wilders only got 1 punch his actual boxing skills are non existent

[@willwork4superpowazz]

My main reason is cause he prolly the most athletic heavyweight active right now, add a well tested chin. Yeh I'd pay for the ppv... Joshua much better at fundamentals which is huge plus

[@SwissCheese112]

joshua is more technical, but wilder can finish unlike klitchko.

[@richardbryant3169]

willwork4superpowazz, tyson fury is AJ's only challenge, if it ever happens.

[@willwork4superpowazz]

His "fight" with Klitschko was the worst thing anyones ever seen in boxing mate, Tyson can't hang with AJ or Wilder. I'm a realist, plus he ain't mentally stable for the big stage

[@DZJ0595]

I wanna be his wife, he is like the perfect package.

[@rocketlaunch99]

Outta your league

[@paul111287]

Conor McGregor would ktfo this guy as quick as Aldo

[@thomas160399]

paul111287 Connor is 5'9, Anthony is 6'6. I'm Irish myself but I wouldn't be surprised if AJ's shits are the same size as Connor. Be realistic man.

[@paul111287]

Tomás Mac Eochaidh V joshua got the size but Conor got the speed and skill. Conor beat some of the best. joshua still not beat prime credible boxer. klitchko was never that great. joshua mostly beat bums. shame he wasn't around to box Tyson, holyfield and Lewis to really see how good he could be

[@matiaskleinert8916]

"klitchko was never that great" Just shut up pls.

[@paul111287]

davide iannace thank you 👍

[@kingofthering3343]

Conor couldn't beat a 40 year old, 149lbs Mayweather. Anthony Joshua would put him in a coma or in the morgue with a jab. McGregor is a shite boxer and Joshua would destroy him in the UFC and on the street too.

[@GoogleUser-so7kl]

Everybody knows even Joshua that Klitschko was the better one clearly, that he knock down Joshua with the age of 41 but couldnt manage to finish him, coz he is gettin old. Everbody saw that Joshua has no Condition for 6-10 Rounds he was breathin like more than an 41. And the world saw that he has no Chin. Have a Good Day ...but no Respect to Klitschko. He is not a Great Champion, he was scared to took the Rematch. History Shows every Great Champion Took it and won the Rematch.

[@kingofthering3343]

No chin? You do realize that Klitschko is known for his punching power? Joshua took the shot square on the jaw and got right back up. There's a reason that Klitschko is nicknamed "Dr. Steelhammer." He has more KOs on his record than Anthony has had fights. You evidently don't know shit about boxing. Plus, why would Klitschko take the rematch. He's in his 40s now for fuck's sake, he can't do this forever. He put on a great performance against a great challenger and left with his head held high, as he should have done. Get the fuck out of here, you know nothing about boxing.

[@malamri424]

Character = age

[@dmr4610]

Anthony did not defeat Klitschko...he just raped him in the 11th round.....lets go CHAMP !!!

[@fsw20585bir]

AJ was a total disgrace in the fight. It was a HUGE moral victory for Klitschko, I will explain why: 27yrs old AJ fighting 41yrs old Klitschko reminds me of a 26yrs old Klitschko fighting a 39yrs old Ray Mercer. Ray mercer was also a former world champion, a olympic gold medalist and at that point had only lost a split decision against Lennox Lewis! But Klitschko destroyed a old Mercer in 6 rounds, it was the same sort of thing AJ should have done to old Klitschko. EITHER KLITSCHKO IS SO GREAT OR AJ IS SO POOR, WHICH 1 IS IT?

[@drake6god985]

fsw20585bir at the age of 27 klitshko got knocked out by a nobody

[@austineaustine9570]

KLITSCHKO is a very skillful fighter and no one disputes that but you don't compare these things like this. KLITSCHKO at 27 and now is not the same obviously he's gained more experience and skill over the years and lost strength when you compare him to a present 27 year old AJ whose got the strength, size and youth with not as much experience as KLITSCHKO. So you can't certainly claim that a 27 year old KLITSCHKO would defeat AJ.

[@youtubewatching2340]

It wasn't a disgrace because Klitschko could most likely beat the other two champions at this moment in time hes still good enough it just shows how good Klitschko is.

[@FredoSantana90]

fsw20585bir clearly u have no knowledge of boxing, age doesn't determine a winner.

[@hillsikem4121]

fsw20585bir Sorry to say this; Shut the fuck up cos you know absolutely nothing about boxing. punk ass!

[@masrr3678]

He was exposed in this fight, a prime klitschko would KO him and Fury will probably beat him too.

[@jp_boxing_hale]

MASRR Tyson is the best imagine if he proper trained he didn't train that much and still beats people

[@2702]

Reality check.... klitschko would have destroyed him at the same age.

[@mastrolegend9277]

Reality check, time machines haven't been invented yet.

[@danielxbox28]

What about 19 fights in ? Oh wait......

[@RossP17]

I love you AJ, but you would get smacked around by a 25yr old klitschko

[@kingofthering3343]

No. Tbh, Klitschko wasn't that great when he was younger. He was one of those guys that got better with age. That's why he hired Emmanuel Steward as his trainer to work on his defense, because he suffered several KO loses as opposed to being outboxed. It was Steward who taught him the jab-grab style.

[@sunnydeyaliofficial]
