[@topsuperseven7910]

There is a keen insight towards the end. The way a kind of deceptive 'narrative' can develop around what a fighter might have trouble against. (or sometimes does well against). I agree that AJ doesn't have any kind of special difficulty with southpaws but instead y'know, right, he lost to one of the greatest boxers in the world today. Who was, it happens, a southpaw. I've seen versions "He has trouble with Eastern European fighters" but if you look closely you see it just happened the East Euro guys he fought were excellent high level guys who gave everyone trouble. *sometimes there is something a fighter might have difficulty with. I have seen guys who are just confounded by a left-hander or they just can't do well against tall fighters etc BUT here, AJ and Charlotte really do break down a kind of wacky 'narrative' thing we tend to do and say or maybe just bring up for the sake of chatter.

Hey, it’s Charlotte Daly from Mail Sport. Interesting comment, have you listened to the podcast? If you have, you’d know I’m an advocate for Joshua.

Charlotte knows how fake Anthony Joshua is and how nasty he was to Nicole Osbourne when she gave birth to his son

[@iffysd9864]

@darrennandrewfitness2836 lol technically he is still the A side. His name means people will watch regardless of belts. Be honest there are too many world champions people do not care about i.e. CBS, sunny edwards before he lost it, the guy that joseph parker beat in his last fight and took his belt. People still want AJ vs Wilder regardless of if they hold belts.

[@Smokey2Mc]

AJ is fighting only for cash hes done.

[@sportinskeptic]

Everyone fighting for cash includes fury refused to fight usyk till he's offered 100m

[@joggyjames]

umm its called prize fighting,

[@disturbed-mindartworkm.hen9616]

Dumb comment

[@marcelmarizu1229]

AJ has a wrong perception of himself. You are not a champion. You are not in the top 3 heavyweights. You have lost 3 times. AJ is just a top-10 heavyweight now. I wonder which crown he wears? What is the pressure? You have lost 3x. The real kings of the division - FURY AND USYK. Let that sink in and drop the unnecessary pressure you put on yourself. You are not as good as you thought.

2 losses agaibst the best fighter on the planet and a generational great, by your logic Lennox was just a top 10 bcus he had 2 KO losses in his career, Tyson was an average top 10 bcus he lost to Douglas, Evander was just a top 10 because he lost to Lewis, Ali was just a top 10 bcus he lost to Norton (arguably twice)...Losses literally mean nothing in boxing if youre fighting good opponents. The same way whoevwr loses out of Usyk and Fury isnt a shit boxer or just an average top 10. At Elite level every fighter will take losses at some point, Canelo, Spence, Loma have all took losses, are they all avwrage top 10s in their division aswell? 😂 you casuals aint got a clue about boxing stick to pulling your meat 4 times a day in your mums spare room. ✌️

[@topsuperseven7910]

I took that as a broad career question and he himself updates it to 'who wants to wear the crown'. The pressure is the relentless crap from what are almost always his own country' fans, the toxic british fans who cannot nitpick and boo and disrespect their own champions enough.

[@naziazulfqar8035]

Love this interview 🥰 - Mr Perfect is the best and he will shock the world once again when he becomes 3X Champion 🎉 can’t wait to see him reign again - there’s no reason for him to put sport second 💯🫡👑
