I'm highly disappointed with AJ's display tonight. Chisora even did better against Usyk than AJ did tonight.
He should have prepared better than this if he had watched how well Usyk took Chisora's punches.

It is high time AJ changed his trainers.

You may be right. With good management, his big paydays are ahead of him and not in boxing, though most boxers don't seem to be able to make the most of their achievements once out of the ring.

If he learns aggression, I'll root for him.
I don't know what's going to happen to all his endorsements.

Joshua has some tremendous endorsement deals with Under Armour, Jaguar, StubHub, EA Sports, Sky Sports, Beats by Dre, AJ Elite Series, Lynx, BXR Gym, DAZN, Audemars Piguet, Electronic Arts, Hugo Boss e.t.c

Not true. On Social media, the support for AJ was as strong as it used to be. The majority of people rooting for Usyk on SM were Ukrainians.
I can't even follow the comments on his posts because majority were in Ukrainian.
Remove sentiment, Aj is no longer electrifying. Most people were routing for Usyk, not only ukrainians. They wanted a new champion

The rematch will most likely be a draw. Most boxing fans are tired of him been a champ. Most people are supporting Usyk, even in Uk

Definitely thw case for me. Champions should box without fear and should dominate all but the best fighters which Usyk is not.

Very good boxer but natural heavweight who trust their chin would bravely get in close, and risk getting clocked by the less powerful Usyk, knowing it would be goodnight for him if they land a good right hook or uppercut.

Joshua never attempted to do that at no stage in the fight . He was scarred of a cruiserweight throughout the fight and only wanted to box from a distance. His heart is gone and I think AJ may be done and should retire.

I don't know what the guy is even on about. Those that live in Britain said he still had massive support..I am active on social media and Usyk rarely gets English speaking people following or commenting on his posts.

No sentiment found here. I do not care if AJ lose or win. I make no money from his victory or lose.
You keep claiming people were routing for Usyk more than AJ which is false. Outside Ukraine, Usyke is not even well known as he is an underdog in the heavy weight.

The same British on SM are the ones buying tickets to watch the match in Tottenham. The stadium was electrifying for AJ. He is also the only reason people bought the tickets or pay DAZn or sky Sport to eat h the fight.

To be sincere AJ is not that good


He's just a hype job


I've been following this guy for years and i have been noticing something about AJ...He lacks confidence and match dictating.



Everybody knows Usyk is mobile boxer with great skills, How can you be boxing with someone that is better than you in terms of boxing...I expect him to make the fight ugly, bully him, cut the ring with him, be more aggressive and probably find the ko punch.




This was exactly what he should have done but the big dosser was trying to fight Usyk at his own game...Like who does that?



His corner men are shitt



He was totally outclassed in his home soil


Such a letdown

I just saw the Ukrainian Twitter page now. All he's doing was hailing Elon musk. Nothing about boxing since 17th of September on his page.

You're very right that very little is known of him, apart from 2012 Olympic gold medal

Depends on contracts. Most won't be dependent on him losing and would likely go to term. He won't stop being commercial for losing this fight if a rematch is on the cards, and if he talks a good talk going into it, his endorsements would be even bigger since he is a conduit to untapped markets. You, that is.

He is also the only reason people bought the tickets or pay DAZN/SkySports to watch this fight. Very few people even knew that Usyk fought Chisora a few months back.

I don't see Usyk getting half as popular as AJ with those belts. Maybe because he is Ukrainian and speaks very few words in English.

True..just like the re-match in Saudi and the new endorsements that followed after. Would Usyk be moved by an offer of more on the table? He claims to only fight for glory. Time would tell.

70,000 people were inside that stadium irrespective of Covid19.

It sold out in 24 hours.

People were routing for AJ

I am telling you. His trainers seem not to be in the system again. AJ needs a spy who will help in studying his opponents. I don't think AJ can get enough respect in the heavyweight division again. It's sad to watch this kind of fight!

That guy is a money spinner. After the era of Iron Mike, women for example never really picked up much interest in boxing until AJ came on the scene again. Lol. You were also right about tickets selling out..

The only consolation was that AJ managed to stay on his feet and not get knocked out with the final flurry of blows from Usyk which would have taken him out for sure had the fight lasted 15 seconds longer.

Usyk deserves his win.

It's time for AJ to sack his trainer. The guy is no more explosive. Baba, just dey fight with zero game plan and no confidence. He needs a trainer who will work on his movement and speed. He is too robotic(zero movement). Ruiz beat him with a badass counter attack.

That's something I need to research about.

Tyson Fury has one and Joshua had 3.
