AJ will be Singing 🎶 112 on his long journey home #ItsOverNow with numbers in ya pocket 💰 🤑 💸

[@kevleafy]

All you people need to realise you can't just knockout these top fighters like when he was coming up... he would be risking fights going all out. Some people are never happy.

[@stuartscott1679]

Aj just needs to build his confidence back with his new style of boxing he'll be back he knows his journey 👍

[@tundeuk]

Fury shat himself against Usyk, that all we need to know. AJ fought him twice.

[@90nadz]

Shat himself into retirement to make himself look like a victim again. Lol

[@giant_joe]

AJ said something here that may offer an insight into the change in him that everyone is observing is for the worse. He said ‘Experience is the best teacher’, when it is commonly understood that ‘Experience is the teacher of a fool’. So AJ’s misunderstanding begs two questions; 1) Has he become un-coachable, and 2) Does he want to learn lessons or win fights?

[@markmorris7123]

I look through the comments and I feel embarrassed to be human..Fury struggles with Wallin, wallins resume is weaker than Franklin's.. AJ beats Franklin better than Fury beat Wallin..Yet AJ should retire??? What's wrong with yall.

[@PeteAxeShields]

Personally, I really struggle with some of the comments about Anthony Joshua. I mean, he has been a four belt Heavyweight Champion of The World ( twice ! ). He has defeated so many top class fighters including Vladimir Klitschko, Carlos Takam, Joe Parker, Alexander Povetkin, Andy Ruiz ( after his loss ), Dillian Whyte, Kubrat Pulev .... hardly a bad resume just 3 losses in 28 fights ( 22 wins by K.O ) and only defeated by two fighters in his pro career. Some of his performances have been outstanding and he has achieved so much in the sport. It puts me in mind of George Best when the fella asked him " Where did it all go wrong George ? " .... GO WRONG ? lol. Good to see AJ win again. I hope he goes on to win another World title. At his best, he is capable of beating anyone.

[@alextomlinson]

Stay humble yo. Keep it real yeah

[@carolineannburrows7845]

AJ is a good talker, knows all the answers, outside the ring. But cannot impress inside the ring. He reminds me Bruno. Robotic and just not good enough. .

Questions I'd like the boxing journalists to ask Eddie Hearn. 1. WHY DID YOU GO AHEAD AND GET THE EUBANK BENN FIGHT SIGNED AND OVER THE LINE .... A F T E R The first failed test????? (AND have a fighter (eubank) sign a contract whilst withholding information on the basis of right to privacy (of Benns failed test) but at the same time have Chris Eubank sign a contract stating that ADDITIONAL testing privately paid for by the promoters would be done....whilst already Matchroom Connor Benn and Team, BBBofC the WBC and VADA were all aware of the adverse findings. Second Question. Why do you state you would never ever ever EVER work with another governing Body in the UK whilst also being on record stating Connor Benn will not get a fair crack of the whip. So my question is, why do you 100% recommend the BBBofC whilst also suggesting they are currently being bias Unjust Unfair Uncooperative How can you NEVER EVER EVER EVER have any desire whatsoever to have a moral compass. Either the BBBofC are fit to be the governing body of British boxing or they're not. Which is it?

[@andy2511UTB]

But all that would of be relevant if the fight happened but it never did it soo who cares

[@Carl.McDonagh]

@Andrew Parker I care mate as do the majority of boxing fans and sports fans in general. I've got no time for cheaters Especially those who are promoted by someone's who's Dad was Best man at the wedding of the opponents Dad and who's CEO is married to the opponents sister. Snakey I thought it was Family first business a close second. It appears that's not the case. Getting a fight signed after already being aware of adverse findings is not something you do to a lifelong mate. Snakey Immoral Greedy Even if Connor Henn is genuinely actually innocent, Hatchroom are guilty of the above. Poor banter

[@andy2511UTB]

@@Carl.McDonagh I have no interest in what happens in there personal life because it doesn't affect me 1 bit or you matchrooom have put on the best cards for the last 5 years plus and u don't know enough to make a judgement on benn matchrooom or the bboc u don't say anything about Warren promotion fury he failed a test

@Mr Sugar unless I'm mistaken The first adverse findings results came BEFORE eubank and Henn was Signed. Or am I missing something

Tyson also went 12 Rds with Bonecrusher smith and Mitch Green. The Mitch Green figh always cracks me up.

[@boneTHUGS111]

Ive always wondered what AJ would be like if he stripped all that muscle off, i know freddie roach said if he got hold of AJ thats the first thing he'd get him to do, strip back the size. Aj is naturally skinny, but was an athlete at school, fast, i think he had the record over the 100m in his school, normally if you have fast feet you have fast hands, but his muscles have made him robotic and slower than i think he would of been otherwise. Anyone that has natural speed, fast hands and then gained a lot of muscle through lifting, knows how much it not only slows your hands down, but how your arms move, the fluidity through the shoulders, everything becomes more forced and less natural if that makes sense. I really think he would of been much better boxer had he stayed closer to his natural build. People dont understand AJ has at least 40lbs of unnatural muscle on his frame

[@crisfiler6128]

Fury is testament to that....loose and flabby in areas but good engine and he can move quickly

[@cantabrian1009]

Hrgovic, Zhang, Joyce before Whyte. Negotiate for Fury/Wilder in the background - it's those negotiations that have kept him inactive

[@gervarisanderson7315]

Tyson Fury ran away from Usyk. Stopped mentioning him.

[@matthewhicks3155]

Tyson Fury made unrealistic demands, but it was Uysk and his team that pulled the plug. The same is true with AJ. Sign the contract and call Fury's bluff. But neither did!

Respect for coming back after Usyk fights. Styles make fights as they say I would prefer it that he boxed 12 rounds than knock franklyn out in 5 rounds. We'll see Dillian next then joyce maybe fury.
