@@SilverbackMatt im 34 and im eating bad but thats cus im going through a dif time, maybe also cus of depression/anxiety
@@dorualex3092 I understand fella, just keep on fighting…….. never give up!
thats just sweet at the end of the day we go back to our mother to recover and lick our wounds and get our confidence back. therers just no place like mom. every fighter should learn this. nothing makes you a person than your mother.
mama's boy Aj...wao!! thats lovely
Very refreshing interview. AJ looks fresh and ready!

Refreshing? Let’s not lie it was awkward AJ was being diplomatic otherwise they wouldn’t understand, be yourself Aj!
I believe this fight goes over 8.5 rounds best bettors live in Nebraska

It really a blessing❤❤❤❤
Everyone talking about Ngannous power, AJ hits pretty hard himself! And Francis ain't never been punched like that before!
yes he has,,
😂🤡
@@Mrblessedone1Oh no he hasn't... etc., etc. 😊
You must be crazy did you not see Fury elbow Francis to the face and he didn’t even blink Don’t bet on AJ
@stsmondal1126 u be clown if ngannou gets chinned
Bless with you AJ
What a wonderful guy, someone for the youngsters of today to listen to. I wish Anthony all the luck in the world on Friday, I love watching boxing and would love to see him in action. Don't worry Mum, your 'boy' is a winner. Easy on the eyes too! 🥊🥊
He had a mental breakdown after getting humbled by Usyk 😂 and was very disrespectful to him. Youngster’s definitely shouldn’t listen to him lol.
@@JohnJoatanadd to the huge racism he displayed a few years ago
@@highjim7778that too.
@@JohnJoatan Are you having a mental breakdown just now? Because AJ is doing just fine and you lot can't seem to get over him.
@@utkarsh2746no, but your hope did. 😂
I love you bro Aj
Lets go AJ🥊
AJ comes across really well in this interview!
Makes a change from from seeing him go in to meltdown.
"It is going to be a tough night's work" Well I thought it was probably going to be too, but we were both dramatically wrong there.
Top Top Guy
Wow Richard looks good man. Hope Judy is well too. Legends!
What a breath of fresh air, the UKs champ!
Not my champ 😂
World champ actually ❤
@@Love-dc8whno he isn’t 😂
@@JohnJoatanhes a champion of the people
Ngannous the real world champ
Mygggg Aj 🔥🤫💯
World Best AJ
Bless the host for pronouncing Ngannou well and not saying En-Ngannou at the very start
Thank you for mentionning that that's so true 👏🏾👏🏾 Im sick of them seeing en ngannou seriously Sorry my english is not good But thank you to you 😊
Thanks for this because I had NO idea that it not actually en at the start! ❤
Honestly, AJ has come so far mentally strong right now. AJ we are rooting for you
AJ has got this. He’s confident and he’s dangerous right now. 👍
no he dosent.
What a lovely Humble Guy AJ is hope he wins
Great interview. media darling AJ is UNBEATABLE. AJ FC WE BACK!!
I wish I still live with my mom.
AJ my brother keep on the energy
Why are the boxing highlights blurred?
For copyright reason's.
ITV don't own the right's.
It’s good for heavyweight boxing that aj is coming bk..
Great fight
I like what aj said about still living with family
we want a fight between usik vs Naganu
I've already done a news report on my channel about it.
Anyone who watched Ngannou vs Fury, knows Ngannou Won!
Yeah except he really didnt deserve the win… even ai declared tyson the winner of that match.
Fury won 7 rounds.
Anyone who knows about how boxing is scored knows that Ngannou lost.
@@invzmk who cares
Tyson fury fanboys in this comment section
AJ IS KING 👑 🥊
AJ what a lovely man with a heart of gold.
This was a good refreshing well done interview. Now picture the same with Sky sports boxing, IFL TV or even Froch the "AJ slayer" channels carrying the same........ 😁
Great Guy AJ. Francis is just naturally something else to fight
Its all well and good having the hardest punch landing it is a different thing
Yep what ngannou says himself too
Tyson Fury thought the same thing
All these other big punchers havent had theirs tested, I'm sure some people hit harder.
@@mrspiff6955Still won lol
AJ for undisputed!
Gotta say that would be a cool end to a poetic journey. AJ's probably experienced everything going in his career. There should be a film in his story
Nice
Such a top bloke AJ❤❤❤
AJ actually seemed really at ease here...sometimes its like he's desperately trying to hold up a certain image, but he's super chill here. Hopefully it translates in the ring...although it's hard not to root for Francis.
AJ all the way... undisputed ❤
Please whoever has access to Anthony Joshua my brother, tell him to watch all Riddick Bowe fights...to get some inspiration before fighting Ngannou.....Please help me to get the message to him. Thank you
Honestly been on the fence with AJ since his racist comments but I'm starting to think he's really not like that deep down, seems like a good guy at heart.
He probably regrets getting caught up in that BLM movement. I guess we can all make mistakes in the heat of the moment
He is human and can make mistakes, the way he talks, the way he carries himself. He is a good dude.
C'est un très bon gars❤
John fury fanboying AJ 😂😂😂
AJ I pray that God will give you victory
Way to go aj 100 win
I wanted to watch the origami championship but thats on paper view as well.
First time have heard someone pronounced Nganou name as it should be pronounced, without the N.❤
I like AJ but stay at home
What a weird thing to say. Clearly don't understand the mindset of these guys.
ill stay at home too. its PPV bro!!! :P
Hol tudom meg nezni a mecset
❤❤❤😊
You can get 4/1 on AJ winning on points, that’s not bad. Remember FN hits hard so he will probably play it a bit safe. And he’s a much better boxer so 4/1 is pretty decent.
Aj looks waked and baked
Definitely not doing that in Saudi that’s crazy
These 2 interviewers need to do some more research into AJ. So underprepared. She’s reading notes on the next fight?? We get it you don’t like boxing but be professional and know your work topic 🤦🏼
Where is Piers Morgan? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hope Francis gets the job done.
Great lad…. Good luck AJ hope you win and it’s an exciting fight! That all said I really like the personality of Big F ! Both good men both good for boxing!
His mindset might be ready but he's not ready for francis fw y'all talking about
Ooo Pyfer not gonn like this!
Sad that he will lose 😢
😂😂😅
Your prediction aged like milk😂😂😂. AJ walked away with $50million for less than 10 minutes work. And the best KO for decades.
Let’s go AJ !!!!! 🏴🇲🇽
I’m a afraid he doesn’t have the killer instinct
Good luck AJ
'Eye of the tiger comes out'..😂..did Ruiz lend it back to you here and there?
How is the worlds hardest hitter some one broke his record and second punching power is not the only way to knock someone out
Anthony Joshua is very handsome
Usyk mogs him lol
Is he handsome because his skin tone is lighter black? If Anthony Joshua was darker black. Would you still say he is handsome??
@@Passportbros8 listen attentively man : objectivety is a must in any of my analysis and it should be so for all of us. So when I watch the guy, when I consider his size, his smile, the color of his teeth, all of these matching with the tone of his skin, the guy is just very beautiful. Francis Ngannou is handsome too by the way. And I would say Deontay, Wilder, Tyson Fury and Usyk, when I look at them, they aren't of the same level of beauty as Joshua or Ngannou. Some people are dark black and very beautiful with that. And some are white, blonde, and very beautiful with that too. And the contrary can also happen. The skin tone is no limit to me to identify a beautiful human being. Remove your blinkers 🙏
@@greatbaba5072 I understand very well. It's respect from me. Much respect to you.
@@Passportbros8 🫶🫶🫶🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I always like Anthony Joshua but those losses against Usyk messed him up. I'm hoping he manages to win what's going to be a close brutal boxing fight against Ugannou.
I dont think it will ne that close, you need more than a hard punch to win a boxing match, ngannou isn't winning
The Wallin fight shows that he's got it in him to fight an aggressive, technical style. He'll take a lot of confidence from that performance. I think he avoids Ngannou's offence and puts a hurting on the Cameroonian warrior. It'll be a technical KO for AJ in round 9.
Usyk broke him 😂
Ruiz stole his fire already
@@JohnJoatan usk fights got him about 40 mil, hardly broke him lol
I want Francis to win but i dont want AJ to lose😊
Even though I’m fi the UK & have been empressed with the recent mindstate of AJ & his performances in the 2nd half of 2023, I’m backing Francis N’gannou all the way & I think he’ll get the ‘W’ without it going to points. The inspirational life story of Francis N’Gannou as coming from an asylum seeking refugee from Cameroon, the struggles & complete poverty that man had to endure during that period would traumatise even the most hardy of men & he had the resilience to endure & see his dream of becoming a professional boxer,who in his 1st ever boxing match, knocked down & had a close fight, with who most people regard as the greatest Heavyweight Champion of this generation, who remains undefeated. That in itself was an incredible achievement that NOBODY seen coming. All after becoming the UFC HEAVYWEIGHT MMA WORLD CHAMPION & arguably the most deadly striker in all of UFC history, with Jon Jones being the only reason for it to be “arguable”. It’s legitimately one of the most inspirational rags to riches story in sporting history & the fact he’s a true gentleman outside of ‘the cage’ & now ‘the ring’ makes Francis a man hard not too love. Fingers crossed both men live up to the hype. May the best man win. If AJ does win this fight then ’Fury has to sign on the dotted line for AJ, whether ’Fury beats ‘Usyk or not.
Yet this unbelievable punch.couldnt slay Fury. Mouth talk that's what it is Anthony Joshua. You already declare the outcome like king David.
Money factor
He's done for 😂
They're overlooking Francis that's for sure...
Aj
As a big AJ fan, I want Ngannou to win! ❤
You are no fan.
what lol
@@Oladips2126 I swear
😄. These trolls are something else
Joshua getting ironed out
How do we know that Francis is the hardest puncher in the world? Stop cappin
Because a lot of people hit and never came close to his score only person that broke it was Joe Rogan and he’s one of the hardest kickers ever and kicks are more powerful than punches a anywhere from 3-5 times harder than a punch and Ngannou broke the record in both hands and it was on a off balance platform so not even his hardest punch and broke the records twice and you can see the difference in power he barley touches people and they go out cold and when he hits bags you can see the difference in power and the force like when he hit the arcade punch machine it shook the ground and camera and it wasn’t even his hardest punch and wasn’t even winded up an did it with his right hook full force and didn’t do that
@@poppymack8812 Completely wrong, Joe Pyfer smashed Francis record on the power cube a few months ago, embarrassingly easily after all the hype he's been given. the record was 129,161 units. Pyfer registered a punch at 170,218 units - 31.7 per cent harder than Ngannou's and he he did it twice on the powercube. Fact is most big time boxers and fighters don't go on them. AJ hit one with his left arm back in 2016 and it was one of those machines like off a fair and nearly broke a 1000, just short of the record for that machine back then. Fact is all these different machines ae calibrated different and are not that reliable. Also Joe Rogan hasn't got close to to one of the hardest leg kicks ever, just because he had a go on the power cube and scored quite well. this was proved when a guy that's not exactly known as a massive kicker obliterated what rogan had achieved, Lorenz Larkin, registered a 235,875 franklin kick, which set a new record by miles. fact is I'll put any HW kickboxer or top Muat Thai to beat even Larkins score if they wanted or got the chance, Can you imagine what Petch would score when he's known as one of the hardest kickers in all combat sport and he's not a big guy or verhoven
@@REVRAC74Well said. Puts all this World's Hardest Punch hype into a realistic perspective.
The veins on his arms 😐
What about them? He's an elite athlete. He should be lean.
Get in shape and workout
@@mrpk646 not every elite athlete of that size is that shredded...
Wilder punch harder than Francis
I hope AJ didnt take francis flag after the match
A.J will fall in under 6 rounds
francis no longer holds that record
He does
@@fornishiokumo3753 Naah apparently Joe Pyfer or whoever Dana White is trying to sell nowadays holds the record now
@@fornishiokumo3753 he doesn't joe fyfer got higher
Ha ha 😂...
@@utkarsh2746 Yeah, they refused to acknowledge it for some reason, and now many are arguing, 'It can't be true because if he hit that hard, he would knock out middleweights.' Yet, he's actually facing opponents who are more agile and skilled than 99% of heavyweights. It doesn't take a rocket science to understand that heavyweights are generally easier to hit compared to middleweights. That's why Joe Fyer doesn't achieve the same knockout rate as Francis does.
So AJ is a mummy's boy!..that should be cute but somehow it isn't...
AND THE GUY WHO JIST BEAT FURY. AJ GOT KNOCKED OUT BY JABBA THE HUT ORTIZ.
He's never fought Ortiz LOL. It's Wilder that fights that old guy Ortiz.
She better with age
I had a dream that AJ was knocked out in first round within few seconds 😮.
That's called an anxiety dream. Trust this random guy on the internet, it won't happen ;)
Start having better dreams in life brother.
Wait and see then
Wait and see. You will see
I'm totally gonna come back to your comment if it happens. For the lottery numbers 🤣 (but I don't think it will)
You're still living with your mom and you really wanna fight Francis Nganou? Common AJ don't let him hurt mommy's boy!!!!😂😂😂
Your mother she's too short 😂😅😊
Too short? AJ is 6’6 so of course a normal sized human would look much smaller! Even you!
Rip Aj
My money is on ngannou, nothing against aj.
Gonna get knocked out then wake up and start trying to talk about African corruption
Glass jaw going to lose again😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Good.
AJ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 frank bruno 2 more like
I find it hard to believe that GMB has given this racist a platform
He’s not a racist. That speech was not his. And many more could be said. However, as an ambassador for peace ☮️ ✌🏼, I ask you and your peeps pardon him and move on.
Francis gonna dominate this fight. AJ does not have the right mentality to step up against Francis. He's still using the word IF. Can't win like that against Francis. For Francis there is no IF, there is only MUST hahahahahaa
Nah AJ would dominate so clearly and very well.! Dominating a fight and winning a fight are two different things Y’all underrating AJ and that’s very very Good It makes the best of AJ comes alive and that best is the champ.❤
@@Love-dc8wh Well... his personality is quite lame, honestly. And his fighting style is very basic. Plus, his competitors weren't always great boxers either. Usyk schooled him and exposed him. Francis will dominate the fight and will win this fight. Either via split decision or stoppage. Francis will show that he is the better boxer, contrary to all odds. I am a boxing fan and you all underestimated Francis when fighting Fury, but still gave him a very tough fight. That should have been a draw by the way and never a loss, but that's boxing. AJ is a paper tiger.
@@Love-dc8wh He lives with his mom.
