not everyone wants to act like an obnoxious piece of **** and not everyone finds that gimmick appealing. joshua is just being what he is, pretty dull and bland.
how do you know thats his life based on getting nicked over a tiny amount of weed? lol. I notice how nobody is calling fury fake when he's showing off his trailer park and pretending to give away his whole purse to charity.
He isn't dull and bland though is he? He's OG from the streets but lies and pretends to be a boring AF humility machine. Don't know where you're from but AJ was driving an S class Merc at 21 without ever having a real job. He was no small time bum. He was goin 80 down the north circular with a half a pound in his gym bag like he just down give a fug. The minute Miller or any other bum talks sheet to him you get a glimpse of the real AJ. He aint no beech and he aint quiet or humble. If he showed his real personality he might lose the respect of uptight boring fans like you seem to be, but everyone else would go mental for it. Fury is Fury. People love him 1000 times more since he was honest about who he is and what he's been through. AJ has an amazing story too and he shouldn't feel ashamed and try and hide it. He is the epitome of a redemption story. He needs to stop lying and embrace it.
As someone who's not materialistic, I can respect a simple lifestyle and not being a show-off but the couch and armchair take it past that. They look like they've been picked up by some garbage bins. Makes him look like a hoarder or a total cheapskate or something.
like i said, appealing to the lowest common denominator isn't praiseworthy. just because he sold weed doesn't mean he's got a personality and it doesn't mean he's hiding some deep down killer drug dealer persona youve got in your head. Joshua has been honest the whole redemption story was a big part of the push, but you want an 'OG'(lol) instead of some suburban watford kid that sold a bit of puff then used his tremendous athletic ability in boxing. You say you see the 'real AJ' in those moments but whenever AJ tries to be road it comes across as way faker and cringier than at any other time.
Nah, acting like you suggest wouldn't net him nearly the same monies. Fact is, uptight boring fans are the majority.
everyone complaining 15 years from now will be going "how could they spend money on this!? or that!?! that's stupid spending I'd never spend like that yuck yuck yuck lmfao " .. but AJ apparently isn't a clown with his money so he gets dumped on for it lol makes sense!
Being yourself is praiseworthy when yourself is a former scum bag and convicted drug dealer who changed his entire life and became a world champion. We would praise that story and praise him endlessly for being REAL. He has a genuine opportunity to change the lives of fugged up kids like he was and help them learn from his mistakes. Instead though he's fuggin all that off to maintain a Lucozade sponsorship. That's not cool.
I have a Nigerian friend. Let me tell you something, they are seriously smart and savvy when it comes to making the most of their opportunities in life and are sensible when it comes to their money. I don't see AJ going broke - EVER.
How little you know of the arcane world that lies beneath the surface of our own! Know then puny mortal that there is another world, a world of power and mystery, of forces greater than you can imagine. Those who harness these forces enjoy great riches and power but they risk their eternal soul in so doing! Joshua has now revealed that he has within his possession the fabled Couch of Solomon and the Armchair of Rameses! These are amongst the most powerful soft furnishings ever crafted! Now we know how Joshua clambered back from the blows of Wlad. Now we understand the immense power he wields. Expect Wilder or Fury to try to take that sofa. For that's the only way they can beat AJ in the ring.
