It's funny AJ suddenly wants to give interviews with IFL. He needs as much exposure as possible now that he has left Sky. Think Eddie has seriously underestimates how cushy he had it with sky. They made massive PPV stars of average Chisora and Whyte. Whereas the likes of a quality fighter like Josh Taylor, who had no Sky promotion, remained relatively unknown to the general public
They are heavyweights, and they are more important (seriously). Tiny men like Hatton and Hahmed had huge fanbase, organically, without Sky propaganda. Taylor is a very good boxer, but he will never be a big pay-per-view star. One of the unfortunate reasons for that is because he's Scottish.
Tony Dosh PPV is a fraud and we have all seen it. Was #Team Humble then #Team Humbled now #Team Rumbled
The division was absolutely rotten between Fury winning in Dusseldorf and Fury facing Wilder after his belts were stolen from him. Look at the 'Paper Champions' who took advantage - Charles Martin, Paint Dry Parker, Tony Dosh PPV and Rice Pudding Ruiz Jnr all up there with the worst seen in the division.
Mate … I wish I didn’t watch that he ended it with the most ridiculous 2 minute monologue about how street he was growing up respecting a multitude of drug dealers who he named and ended with “stay hungry, f*ck being humble” He is looking for new trainer and Ronnie Shields is a front runner because he’s African and it’s easier to communicate with him and show him respect. He mentioned he was gonna murder Usyk this time he might even through the referee on the floor blah blah blah. Congratulated Fury and had a dig at him by saying it’s his first title defence. Some other stuff too which I didn’t get because I was cooking Thai Green curry & rice. From now on I am going to refrain from watching any AJ interviews otherwise I’ll end up becoming a hater rather then a fan..
I don't like frauds mate - talks about a legacy when it was already cemented in New York when Baby Butterbean ate him alive.
I listened to the first twenty or so minutes. It's more interesting than his usual media trained waffle, he seems more himself. He sounds annoyed. Feels like he is preoccupied with what people think of him and wanting to prove them wrong though. Actually he just mentioned 'you'd have to ask my team what their plan was' in regards to the Usyk fight. You're the fighter mate, not them.
Mate are you just making things up here or are you not old enough to remember … Naz was skys first super star in boxing along with the way they pushed Eubank on his famous world tour 12 fight deal or whatever it was ending with his 2 Collins losses were pushed to a massive degree on sky…. And Hatton who was everywhere on the sky channels … what you talking about?
Ended the interview with, and I’m not joking... ‘Forget TBE, it’s all about TBF (throwback fighters), I’m leaving that one to marinate. Two-two-zero-one, second to no-one. Stay hungry, f*ck being humble’.
Can be bothered watching it in full, I hope hes giving Usyk full credit for whooping him, not heard it yet
The sad thing is that this was most likely all pre-rehearsed - he has zero charisma, no X factor and no titles
