'ANTHONY JOSHUA IS A F***ING SOLDIER! I'd take rematch' - JAI OPETAIA 'Chasing pain'

[@ninjasrose1653]

The most no-bullshit man in the game. This guy is a throwback from the old school. You know full well he won't overlook anyone and become Undisputed! If Bredeis couldn't stop him when he broke his jaw, then I can't see anyone in the division doing so. Easily one of my favourite fighters!

[@Rankboxing]

Jai is really impressive and elite. I hope one day I see him fighting here in the US.

[@Joseph-wo3tr]

Jai is a machine. Hope he becomes the best in division👊

What a young Legend! I grew up in the middle of four sisters. Jai is refreshing to listen to. He's focused, humble and grateful. "Good on ya Mate!" Much love from an Aussie born Minnesotan.

OK OK nevermind some of the questions but how good is the b-roll of Jai training? Love it! Let's go, Jai, best one!

So humble and so matter of fact doesn't get held up in all the bullshit and bullshitters such a simple boxing philosophy in all aspects of and stays true too himself and and the people within his circle how can anyone not respect this man fantastic fighter and possibly himself and usyk sharing a ring R.E.S.P.E.C.T

[@emyonyesoh3362]

I love this fella Jai is one of my favourite fighters he just wants to fight love that 👍🏾

[@saifhussain9701]

Danny I respect u man but you gotta ask better rounded questions you can tell after the first response by jai when he talks abt not giving a shit abt outside noise that he has no interest on those small things you need to improvise and change it up after asking those types of questions no hate just some advice It’s always different for fighters coz you have some that are open-minded and those who are locked in to just the action and want to fight, take beterbiev for example he’s extremely humble like Khabib was and it’s difficult to interview him coz of his ideals and as a Muslim myself I can relate it’s all about asking the right questions at the right time only when necessary Maybe try getting in to the fighters mind and really have them think about what they plan on doing in their fight not just say do u want the ko or stoppage ofc they do but they will say if it comes then it comes and that they don’t aim for the ko simply they want to put on a clinical performance for the fans do your research before interviews that way you come prepared and the fighters will acc have more to say and not be bored halfway

[@g-man4297]

AJ should take the rematch, he took every other rematch after losing it's get back or at least do better next time and try to win, no point taking soft touches at this stage of his career.

[@Stevenbutterworth1992]

@@g-man4297 the rematch ends in 30 seconds next time, it will be just for the payday but does AJ want another beating? 😫

[@Percival1919]

Challengers don't normally get to ask for the rematch especially as he got smashed for 5 rounds

[@jasonmardoniomeza1711]

I think AJ should fight Wilder then rematch Dillian White then for his last fight take on Tyson Fury. 3 big huge paydays from his excellency Mr. Turkey and win or lose you can look back and say you fought every big name in your era. Who knows maybe AJ wins one of them fights or all three and retires on a high. As a fan these are 3 fights I always wanted to see before this generation or era of Heavyweights are all retired and gone for good. As far as what's best for AJ's health though...... retire now. He's made huge money. Him , his children , and his grandchildren are all set for life and AJ accomplished everything there is to accomplish in Heavyweight boxing except becoming the Undisputed Heavyweight Champ of the world. That's not bad. AJ like Wilder of late has been taking alot of hard punches to the head and it would be a shame if AJ is hit with one too many not allowing him to enjoy the fruits of his labor...his life and his family....with a clear head. If he does continue on fighting he needs to tighten up that defense. AJ has been huge for the Heavyweight division. He won't go down as an all time great in my opinion but he definitely will be considered one of the best Heavyweights of this era. He will not be remembered as the most skilled Heavyweight but he definitely will make the boxing hall of fame. Also....AJ will definitely be remembered for bringing British boxing back to the forefront growing its popularity and fan base in the 2010's and early 2020's! That's not a bad legacy.

He comes across so much better than he did when he first started getting interviewed. He seems like a decent bloke.

[@stth4080]

Because Aussies are decent blokes it seems every Aussie in combat sport right now have respect from fans for either being a no nonsense fighter or they're just really down to earth. I think its refreshing Jai, Tszyu, Kambosses literally have all said anywhere anytime.

[@boxing]

Sorry you feel that way r95kfw. I think there is plenty of value here, but as the interviewer I suppose I would say that. What would you like to have seen him asked?

[@1Osiris101]

I agree. The interviewer should have asked Jai Opetaia why he looked scared in his rematch with Briedis when he started taking punishment. The bully Opetaia got bullied and exposed.

[@boxing]

That's less 'outside the box' and more 'he'll put me in a box'

[@DarrenYates-b1g]

@@1Osiris101 Jai got his nose busted by an accidental and shortly after walked into a good uppercut that shook him. So, what do good fighters do in those circumstances? They back off and clear their head, which is what Jai did. Shaken up, but coherent. He didn't go down and won 8-9 rounds landing many more big punches than Bredis. It was thorough win and good experience, a bout that will prepare him better than Massey bout with Chamberlain.

[@busterb6562]

Yeah, he is but more like a dead soldier who ran into enemy fire like a fool.
