we all know Anthony Joshua as a big
humble Friendly Giant
he often pays a lot of respect to his
opponents in the build ups to his fights
and his post-fight interviews normally
follow suit you know we were on the rise
right now and I'm just a good interest
in a professional game a long hard
journey ahead
but you believe you can go all the way
Tony I'm not saying anything just yet I
can't help notice there seems to be a
darker side emerging from a 250 pound
muscle-bound wrecking machine and I love
the business I can know the many
thoughts this is the manatee where over
the last few days I've gone back and
rewatched all the old interviews and
fights of AJ so far and gathered an
interesting collection of the times the
Beast has failed the containers a
[Applause]
[Music]
but I'm a beast now don't regard me as a
flower was it seven eight years ago
because she dumb like head off
are you too nice to be a boxer you know
what the thing is Li you asked me that
question in minute ago I'm not even
messing about right now and I know
people who are in but I'm gonna tell you
about myself don't ask me that question
me and you ever do an interview again
don't bother asking me right a question
first doing my head in
first up we have Joshua's interview for
the Sun News website back in May of 2015
Joshua's seemingly out of character
outburst was later revealed as a
quote-unquote prank on Joshua's behalf
but just bear in mind the interviewer
really doesn't know his joke he's Grubbs
Oh am I seriously that he's go piss me
off these questions about I'm white too
nice you remind the main now doing the
lion's den with me ask me that question
again if you think I'm too nice you
think I'm missing about ask that
question again cuz then di spoke to you
about this as well but people asking me
these silly questions I'm about am i -
nice did it are commenting about you
Matt doesn't know does it I'm missing
about yeah from I have a word I'm not
joking with you you do my bidding people
thinking up to knife
this type of supposed prank doesn't seem
like a very friendly thing to do to a
guy clearly weighing less than a hundred
pounds your minimum and if I'm being
completely honest the question are you
too nice to be a boxer seems to rattle
him a bit and perhaps he later turned
his genuine anger into a bit of a joke
either way I think it shows that if you
push the right buttons you will get a
response
[Music]
[Laughter]
although to do
I feel bit like crying before I knew as
a joke
[Laughter]
Anthony Joshua's ring walks of recent
has certainly taken a different
direction for the man that used to stop
to the ring back in his first few fights
we are getting used to the long robes
smiley faces and awesome lights and fire
effects blending with the music but here
are my top picks for his most
intimidating
closely scrutinized everything he does
inside the ring and outside the ring is
closely observed there's a real feeling
that he is a serious serious contender
of major honors on the heavyweight stage
and so far he's done everything that's
asked of it still improving gym
obviously but so much to get excited
about every day is of course but this is
the past pain for years
mutation Joshua did a very interesting
interview for kook and Kassius of IFL
TVs YouTube big shout-out to those guys
the interview consisted of AJ giving his
personal opinion on his top 5 greatest
heavyweights I won't spoil it for you as
you might want to watch it at a later
date but overall he nice and calmly
talks about the first three guys until
he gets to his number two slides fight
number two number two
Ironman the man I would love to read
comic books about when I was a kid I am
Mike Tyson the beast the Malevich
19-inch neck the mounted quads that made
people say don't skip leg day now over
chest that made you have to get your
suits tailored the beast that will knock
you over left or right you know me
Iron Mike Tyson is definitely in my top
five
I mention this because I could see how
Anthony Joshua imitated Iron Mike and
some of those early fights and in
something I'd love to see him do more of
in the near future
listen I leave the king now yeah no
doubt about it he can't the big man now
on campus I don't care who's out there
little guy he's been big man on campus
knocking guy about ready and you got and
he looks like they had for all you guys
that are active on Twitter I'm sure
you're struggling to get away from all
the beef and shots being fired from
boxers worldwide but very rarely do we
see Anthony get involved regardless of
how many times Tyson Fury calls him out
for being a weightlifter or a big stiff
it
do some serious on you idiot but out of
nowhere this week AJ must have woke up
on the wrong side of the bed
as he sent out three pretty aggressive
tweets to champions Joseph Parker and
Deontay Wilder with the final tweet sent
to former unified champion Tyson Fury
the fury tweet got the most retweets and
it's pretty easy to see why that's what
I don't build yourself up so fuck which
already in the building a deal is you
know did you think of all the things you
wanted to become to your 25th and so
you'll be in some trouble his own saying
you're in a deep hole bring yourself man
what did I get myself into
why is he hitting me so hard is there
two or three of them in the ring with me
when Anthony Joshua made his first title
defense back in June 2016 opponent
Dominic Brazil seemed like a pretty
grounded and respectable Challenger but
something must have ticked AJ ofter in
the early stages of the build-up because
he laid into the American challenger
pretty hard from the get-go a serious
situation so he has potential both to
put an end to his dreams I said I'm the
dream catcher I'm the dream crusher and
I have to make sure that I maintain and
just do what I'm here to do and that's
put on a show and keep this bout in the
UK you got everything to lose none on
the network like you got everything
I told you this stuff and all of that
stuff is irrelevant no it's just me and
you on the area nothing to do there
integrator silence this mean you
exchanging leaven in trouble good you
got something no I'm talking dime Mac
out lighter I see American competition
we'll see I'm hoping anything Josh was
preparing to being a war in the dog
fuckers I said I'm gonna bring my seesaw
get knocked out I'm here to please man
I'll do my G hey J later went on to
punish Brazil in pretty brutal fashion
[Applause]
what I've presented to you so far is
reserved from how dark Joshua gets in
the ring itself from about four or five
fights in AJ really started to enjoy the
battles rather than looking a little
struck by the nerves but when we say
enjoy I mean he really enjoyed he's
taking it over Joshua smiling yet so
much the little short inside left hand
there as well
please the numerous tongue pokes and
taunts have come at a rather unusual
time during the fights usually a fighter
that's outwitting and embarrassing their
opponent on the back foot with defensive
skills is more likely to taunt but AJ in
dominant male fashion taunts his
opponents when they appear to be hurt or
struggling to recover from a counter
punch check it out
[Applause]
banging back but again just to certain
to powerful than Joshua who slicing into
ribbons here
the interludes might have a job to do
because backed-up is so brave he's
standing up to this but he is getting
pounded in Angelou's did absolutely the
right
because black tough nose let it go on I
thought he was stopping it
we should the deal well
[Applause]
by far the darkest side I've seen from
Anthony Joshua was in an interview for
IFL TV in late 2014 the interview
started out pretty cool and calm as AJ
talked about his experience training at
the Klitschko camp but once the
interviewer brought up the prospect of
fighting longtime rival Dillion Weiss
the mood quickly changed who's that
Publius thing that one new eye view am i
pressing something he I don't regard me
as a fire was seven eight years ago
Domino
that's what I can really see on the
situation so I don't really count as a
loss I count as a great experience that
building into the man I am now AJ has
never liked white to be honest their
gloves are off episode was ridiculously
heated and when Joshua got ahold of him
in the ring he ended him with the most
brutal knockout to date
[Music]
[Applause]
as long as fire
[Applause]
there's a
