Anthony Joshua On Usyk Losses, Tyson Fury, Franklin & Derrick James

[@boxingnews__]

Will Anthony Joshua become world champion again? 👇

[@supermikarteta3693]

of course!!

[@shitmonkyable]

No. Even if the belts get scattered after undisputed, he'd be up against Wilder or Joyce

[@rjbolaofficial8197]

Yes

[@BigKay185]

Yep

[@lofo7703]

@shitmonkyable I think he could beat both... hard fights but both winnable fights.

[@stuart6935]

This is how to do an interview Koooooogs. Take note. Your IFL interview was awful. AJ was totally disengaged and uninterested. Well done Rob this is becoming the best boxing channel on KZbin 🥊

[@Partoftheratpack]

Actually knows how to engage his subject rather than just asking crap obvious questions. He’s engaged in the conversation.

[@Gooniessss]

Couldn't agree more. He seems disinterested or doesn't trust Kugan.

[@peternagy-im4be]

Kugan is number one brudda

[@freddiefreeman4119]

I haven’t seen an AJ interview as relaxed and open for a long time. Nice one Rob and good luck AJ.

[@MuhammadAli-kv5oe]

Why is everyone so judgemental, like him, or hate him? You can't deny that the division is much better with him in it. Welcome back and the best of luck.

[@1729krish]

People just want more brash personalities I guess. Weird. Aj is a class act

[@jammers7279]

I like when AJ starts interviewing the interviewer.. The convo always gets more interesting than the same old questions

[@daves.9334]

Glad to see AJ in good spirits. Boxing needs these guys to be around to carry the sport.

[@offsidegeorge1]

Great segment on favourite fighters at the end. Clear to see AJ was at his most comfortable when discussing his love for the sport.

[@misterjames4206]

100% agree mate, I think he knows every answer will be scrutinised no matter what he says, but yeh the pressure seemed lifted when it was more of a conversation rather than interview. Rob did great as usual, I was hoping it was Rob getting to ask hearn about the dazn price rise

[@kennedysan1045]

One minute it's legacy, next minute it's the bag....

[@bestsleepsounds7370]

After listening to AJ in this interview, it is clear that AJ is back to being AJ and he will be Champion again.

[@paulk1702]

Possibly the best Joshua interview I've seen. Good to see Tebbutt getting his props from Joshua at the start. [Has the Benn live coverage won an award yet? If not, why?] The bit towards the end was top drawer. Joshua visibly relaxed when they each spoke of their favorite fighters and anecdotes from the past. Joshua would be gold on the Main Event.

[@coryhiom4149]

Rob this is the best Joshua interview I’ve seen in years👊

[@derekbilly4784]

Lol

[@EnglishOxide]

When are people gonna stop analysing AJs mindset? For years they all try to pick holes in his personality/body language/words. This level of critique is never applied to any other boxer? Just let him do his thing and judge him on his boxing.

[@ironcrusader728]

Sorry are you joking, tyson fury can't breathe without hordes of people critiquing him, if he sniffs up on a interview he is on coke, if he says he will fight twice on a Sunday for a joke people call him a liar for not doing it, I dont know what bubble you live in mate

[@Plus_clip_s]

@@ironcrusader728 1 rule for one one for the other. I remember “get fit you fat fuck” now what.. Probably start using racism

[@Fathervinyard]

aj and fury both get major flack from opposing fan bases it is what it is but aj fans act as if aj is above criticism because of his supposed elite level “REZZUMAY”

[@RF0414]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@Lee-ye3ev]

You AJ fans are hilarious. You spend your lives hating on Fury, then get defensive when someone hates on poor little AJ, as if he's exempt from criticism

[@DX_2_words_4_ya]

Great to see AJ back and nice to hear him speak. These last years he's done very little media. Enjoy hearing him.

[@constantinvaldor3742]

That's nice 🤗

Big respect Anthony Joshua 💕

[@WayneThexton]

Excellent interview, Rob. His respect for you shone through.

[@andyrogers150]

Proper interview Rob! I love the fact he’s like whatever on the rankings just focus on him fighting Franklin he knows he’s gotta get back there and beating Franklin is the start of that

[@JD-re3cj]

Cool story bro

[@jameshunter9368]

Great interview Rob, he’s right, you covered the Benn situation brilliantly

[@andyg1000]

Agreed, the coverage was superb

[@ThisGuy4]

Best AJ interview in years

[@DrGoodnSexy75]

AJ still a legend no shame in loosing. Proper gent and warrior 💚

[@denniscarsner]

[@deanothomas11]

Very open aj here shows how much he respects you ain’t seen him this honest in an interview not even on ifl

[@d.b.cooper1]

Honestly a rare great AJ interview so chill

[@EnglishRoots11]

That's the best way to interview AJ. Just talk about life and everyday stuff.He even likes asking questions. You can tell he dont like being asked the same old boring questions.

[@angeloogunseye1811]

Aj is a legend, keep your head up big man; it’s crazy how people are quick to throw you under the bus when things aren’t going your way. This man never ducked no one, he’s fought top level opposition his whole career. Usyk is a different animal and Eddie Hearn shouldn’t have put him in there with usyk. Usyk beats 99% of the heavyweights out there so there’s nothing to be ashamed about Aj. After all said and done you will be remembered as a legend and most importantly as a good man. I wish you all the best.

[@courtneykettle9165]

Shout out to Rob for saying that James Toney is his favourite fighter. Toney was a defensive wizard in his prime.

[@stujoker]

Great stuff Rob! Good not hearing the same questions and answers

[@treyakasprings]

How this guy can keep a lid on it after the way fury slates him is self control at it’s very best.

[@mrsugar2352]

Joshua is almost too philosophical to continue his reign. He’s always 10 miles away in thought and seems ultra inquisitive. This interview proves what I’ve been saying. Anthony should be doing way more media. Even pick his favourite which seems to be Rob and understandably so. Do a video every 2 weeks just chatting the man is very likeable when he’s being himself talking about things that interest him. The people would love him again he needs to be seen.

[@sunsaengnim6880]

It's actually mad the hate he recieves. A lot of people out there tryna make themselves feel good by shitting on a multi-millionaire former unified heavyweight champion 😂. You hate him so much yet you keep coming back for more every time he pops up with another interview 😂

[@NAR-wv3sl]

Very good interview, fascinating, well managed. I think AJ has learned not to trust - so much more guarded, which is a pity but understandable. He and Eddie Hearn have made a massive contribution to the sport, and achieved great rewards, but success in itself attracts haters.

[@JD-re3cj]

Absolute fascinating interview- just a shame AJ didn’t talk about the heroin dealer turned snitch that he respects so much

[@Lastofthescofflaws]

I admit I have always wondered what ID Boxing stands for too. Glad to hear Joshua ask haha. Good interview!

[@JonnyProsser]

Really good interview, really well done. AJ fights everyone & anyone, he deserves huge respect.

[@Portyhughti]

What an interview, smiled all the way through it. AJ’s a great guy man, can tell he just loves boxing❤️

Excellent interview 👏 when talking about his favourite boxers he was very engaging and comfortable. Good stuff Rob.

[@JPatelLive]

I back each class UK fighter, American etc too, _INC AJ!_ - During the first 3/4 interview, AJ's body languages appears to 'say'/show more than he's saying/not saying in words.. Stoic vibes, professional, respect man, and then, @8:07 _his guard drops when he talks from his heart and not being diplomatic with his answers, their chemistry was fun and revealing open; MORE PLEASE, GENTS!_ *LETS GO AJ!!*

[@hehe3439]

Really good interviewer right questions asked at right time.

[@BigKrisMorris]

Good interview I like it when AJ is just chatting. Still too much mention of fury though

[@BoxingNBeards175]

You will always have critics, but I think it’s a good fight for AJ to come back to, I think people should give the man a break He’s a superstar everything he does is news. I think it’s time people give Joshua respect. This was a great interview. Good to see Joshua relaxed, confident and I think he will KO Franklin in six rounds.

[@yasminmalik3274]

Brilliant interview Rob 🥊

[@Lee-nb5pr]

I used to really enjoy AJ interviews and his personality. In recent times I’ve stopped even watching due to what I perceived as a change in his attitude. Perhaps it was actually a change in the management of his media commitments / the way other interviewers approached him. Well done Rob for bringing out some of the old AJ. Enjoyed it 👍

[@smokemenace]

This is a hard boxing match for aj and I give aj all respect for boxing the best in the game even with this guy if u look at his last profeamacne against Dylan he was good speaks volumes for aj and one of the main reasons he is still top is cus he will fight any one no matter even if he nows they a very skilled boxer some could take a lot of advice from him

[@ToonBadger1]

Good interview! Just hates talking about other fighters, but I rate that.

Well done, Rob. Immediately subbed. This was such a great interview and Joshua despite his shortfalls, he's a good lad and keeps fighting on. This is the way to go about life and the correct mindset. Bible also says, he/she that endures till the end shall be saved / save himself.

[@cusssystem8013]

Fantastic interview Rob once again. You always seem to get people you interview to engage with smiles on their face's and seem to enjoy talking to you. You ask the same question regarding Derrick James and why AJ chose Derrick James and AJ was more open with you and gave his reason compared to an answer he gave to another interviewer. Interesting to hear AJ talk about Mike Tyson and Mike being the reason he got involved with boxing and I have heard AJ say how he has also been inspired by our mentor Cus Damato in my opinion the GOAT boxing trainer

[@jasondyer811]

Great to see him back .

[@jason147h6]

AJ's not fighting for the money....he's wealthy beyond his dreams. He wants to get back in a position to fight for a title again but he also knows that a loss to Franklin is most likely terminal for his career. He also knows he's only 2 or at worst 3 victorious fights from another tilt at a title. I do also think that if the Fury v Usyk fight happens and Fury wins he could very well retire undefeated and a Joshua v Fury fight may never happen and that really would be a shame
