AJ is wearing team Usyk gloves and doing Usyk’s conditioning drills and mental exercises??? I was indifferent about the linkup but he’s training in front of the Ukrainian flag every day and wearing gloves that say USYK? What is AJ doing.

I'm liking this and I'm liking the humility. He seems more centered and like he's in a really good headspace. He needs to stick with Team Usyk. Hopefully after he takes Jake's head off, he polishes off Fury next year.
Exactly - accepting your loss and acknowledging that "this guy knows something I could learn from" takes humility... And IF he can actually learn something and improve, it's entirely possible he can beat the man who still hasn't accepted his losses and has never lived the life - especially considering there seemed never to be too much between them.
AJ is done at the top level. People trying to spin this into something meaningful and positive. AJ is done. His confidence is shot. That's why he's fighting Jake Paul and not Daniel Dubois, for example.
You really expect him to fight Dubois after a 15 month lay off and being brutally knocked out by him while he was originally supposed to fight Cassius Chaney before the Jake Paul opportunity arrived xD?
No, I never did expect him to. That's the point. It's been clear for a while. He's finished now. And beating Jake Paul won't build his confidence one bit, probably will do the opposite.
Yes, he's finished, that's why he's aiming at the fight with another finished guy in Fury, instead of a world title next year. That's a perfect fight for both of them.
Vaguely remember an offer being presented after one of their fights. Good to see them link up. Wonder if there is any shenanigans planned for the AJ/Fury rumoured matchup.
