Anthony Joshua - The Path to Tyson Fury 

You know Quasimodo predicted all this?

Finally someone actually breaks things down and genuinely gives AJ the credit he deserves

Activity is key

I was both impressed by Joshua and Parker. Zhang drilled Parker good with some deceptively short blows but Parker is a tough son of a gun. Thanks for your analysis, Rummy. Spot on again!

Making a fight with Fury is the boxing equivalent of 'going down the rabbit hole.' Okay, we'd all love to see it, but can any of us ever imagine it actually happening? I definitely can't. I can imagine Fury releasing videos calling AJ out, and it may even reach the 'announcing the fight' stage, but that will almost certainly be where it ends. If Fury wins undisputed, he will probably continue his game of sitting on the title and enjoying it without actually fighting any viable challengers.

Love having a cuppa watching the GOAT. Im talking about Rummy before anyone jumps on my ass lol.

Rummy- Great Video and commentary as always

AJ has fought 4 times in 11 months and he said all this in ring activity would pay offf and i agree because when your waiting around not fighting as much it doesn't help anyone the sport the fans the fighter.

AJ just keeps getting back up on his horse. Very admirable. I used to not like this dude at all. But he’s grown on me.

Fury's more scared of Joshua than he is of Usyk. After he had a panic attack and soiled himself Fury ran out of the stadium when he saw Joshua destroy the man he went life and death with and couldn't even hurt.

Fury vs Joshua is a fight I've always wanted to see regardless. But now it has proper meaning again, especially if Fury beats Usyk.

We was waiting on this one thanks RC✌️💥🔥💢💯

A.J. looks dangerous again after a long time. Fury is deteriorating fast. I don't believe he has the courage to take this fight as it stands now.

Been impressed by his recent run. Thank you again for the upload! Only boxing channel I watch consistently.

I think this version of AJ can even possibly best usyk if they fought again. I feel like fury will never fight AJ

As you say AJ has had 3 fights recently and Fury hadn't fought in over a year made a huge difference. The lack of activity with modern boxers compared to the past is a real issue. Look at parker 4 fights in a year and beats Wilder, now 5 recent fights and beats Zhang.

This version of Joshua annihilates Fury.

I have become a huge AJ fan. Because of his performances but also how he holds himself, he really is a Phoenix rising from the ashes and I can see it in his confidence, there is a big change in the AJ of today vs the guy who lost to Uysk

I've been looking and waiting for your video to drop i had a look yesterday and thought damn nothing yet, Glad it's here 👍

I agree with Rummy.... as usual. Thanks for the video. Great job!

Been refreshing RU-vid since waking up yesterday for this one 🔥

The old Joshua is back 🥊

Rummy your a legend!!!! Thank you for all your uploads. Your takes are always fair balanced and very reasonable

Great video coverage Rummy 💯 staying acrive is paying off

There is no substitute or alternative for learning your craft on the job. Back when boxers fought regularly, this kind of pathway was not unique. Staying active is the best thing he can do. Moreover, I'm not sold that Francis was bad; rather, I think Joshua was that sharp. Nobody seriously believed Razor Ruddock was inept after Lennox Lewis dispatched him in a very similar manner.

This is a pretty nice comeback AJ is having. AJ getting a shot at a vacant belt if one of Usyk's titles get stripped from him isn't too far-fetched. It's a good place to wait then for the dust to settle after Usyk and Fury have done their fighting.

Class video as usual🥊

great video as always

Great video.

great work as usual, Rummy

Sometimes you have to lose to win. AJ is on an upward trajectory, and I feel he an become the undisputed champion.

Very well analysis n good video

Activity and staying busy is proving to be more and more valuable (Parker, Joshua) than the more reserved approach (Fury, Wilder, Ruiz, etc.) Plus we get to see more fights! Great video Rummy

Dear Mr Rummy, I really appreciate your work, your journalistic presentation style and your amazing boxing knowledge. You make today’s fractured and complicated world of boxing easier to follow-and thus, more enjoyable for the casual fans. Please keep up the great work.

I was not a fan of AJ. But his last 2 fights have absolutely changed my opinion of him and I can’t wait to see his next fight

Thank you as always rummy

You are the king brother always love your content

Tbh I was critical with Franklin and Helenius, and even if Ngannou and Wallin weren't the best opposition - he flew through them with no problem. I don't think anyone thought AJs skills were poor, or he was physically anything other than a beast - what was holding him back was mental. These two wins demonstrate he's beaten his demons.

Completely agree Rummy. AJ's rebuilding has been a fun journey to watch unfold. The man has made an excellent case for himself with the wins over common Fury opponents. I'm hoping that regardless of the outcome of Usyk-Fury, we see him and Fury get in the ring. Whether Fury comes into the fight undefeated or with a loss or two against Usyk doesn't matter to me, Fury-Joshua is a damn fine fight and one that needs to happen. The less Bowe-Lewis fights a generation has, the better! Great work as always! 👊

Always good.

Josh would destroy fury

Ben is the man who brought Tyson back from depression. He got Fury up, active and boxing again. Fury’s lose seems to be AJs gain. Ben really deserves more credit than he gets. He is an absolutely phenomenal trainer. All AJ needs to do, is listen to Ben, stay away from the commercial lifestyle and stay hungry. Then he can beat anyone… well, maybe not the small Ukrainian guy

AJ and Parker were both impressive. Indeed Parker has been even more active than AJ recently. I'm guessing AJ will fight someone in the summer and then fight Hrgovic for the IBF belt in October or November.

Rummy’s corner we love you bro your the goat

100% agree with Rummy's take.

Great Analysis

I guess Quasimodo didn’t predict any of this.

I see Rummy I like

I suspect Usyk will beat Fury, although that’s still a hard one to call even with people finally seeing how ordinary Fury is and always has been - but he’s awkward, and then I think the chance of AJ-Fury will pretty much evaporate. So long as the Fury family’s presence in boxing and social media also evaporates, everyone’s a winner

Whens the next best of the decade video out rummy?

Ai is making himself an official gate keeper. Love it. He is basically saying if you want usyk or fury you got to get through him.

AJ has eye of the tiger back in him

Joshua vs Wilder and Joshua vs Fury are still two fights which need to happen before all 3 of them retire

Another great vid! I have been really tough on A.J. in the past, but he has been very impressive since his last loss against Usyk. He has been putting in the work and it shows. I think this version of AJ is a far better boxer all around than the one from before his defeats. I think that fighters who have been champions have a choice to make when they loose for the first time, and AJ has made his choice. He wants to be the best and is willing to go through the pain and sacrifice it takes to get those belts back. I have an unpopular opinion about a certian heveyweight legend by the name of Muhammad Ali that could be considered a bit of a hot take (no one agrees with me so far on this, so I will put it out here). The 1974 version of Ali that beat George Forman in Ziare was a better and more dangerous version of the champ than the pre-exile one. Crazy, I know, but his loses and struggles made him a tougher, meaner, smarter fighter IMO and even though the younger version of Ali was far faster and harder to hit, I don't think that young Ali was as dangerous. Of course, he declined rapidly after 74-75, but my point is that AJ seems to be learning the hard lessons from all of the struggles he has gone through to this point and is a visably better fighter for it. Fury struggled against Ngannou a UFC fighter who he was supposed to smash. He looked un-prepared and got dropped. AJ went in and took Ngannou to school, beating the breaks of the man and all the while looking slick and poised. I can't wait to see what happens next.

It’s always a treat to see a new Rummy video. Thanks again for excellent content!

Rummy! I don't care you ain't Quasimodo....I love the fact you consider all angles and give credit where it's due....you are my favourite boxing channel ....nought but love my freind 👍

AJ has the hardest punch in boxing, all he has to do is throw it, and right now he is.

We should celebrate when boxers fight!

Excellent work, AJ 🎉

Excellent overview. Truely exciting times in heavyweight boxing. With such a mix of motivations. To finally become the undisputed heavyweight champion for Fury and Usyk. To become a third time heavyweight champion for AJ. No one can predict but just watch in awe as these boxing greats fight it out at their peak.

👏👏hear hear 👏👏 Rummy Quasimodo, The Nostradamus of Noo Joyzey

Thanks Rummy!

Much respect to AJ!

Thing is that the 3 top HWs at this point are over 34 years (In this year AJ will be 35, Fury will be 36, and Usyk is 37). These fights need to happen soon.

Great video, as always...🙏🇬🇧🥊❤️

Waiting for that Lynch reference 🍻

4 years ago I'd say no way Fury would ever lose to Joshua. Now I think Joshua has a big chance to dethrone Fury of his title. What I've seen from him since the Usyk fight seems like he's ready to regain his title

Joshua and Fury will have their fight, but it ain’t gonna be for the belts!

I see Rummy posts I click fast!

AJ cops criticism from the haters no matter what he does. Canelo is in the same boat, Andre Ward and Lennox Lewis are renowned for it, it's always just gonna be hate out of their mouths and comparisons to things that are irrelevant

Rummy, can’t wait for your views on the Fury vs Usyk fight (that’s hoping it actually happens). I just hope AJ keeps his head down and focuses on his own journey, as it may be well into next year when he gets a crack at either Usyk or Fury.

Joshua is gona smash fury

Activity is all fans want! With his last fight only being two rounds, I am hoping Joshua goes again real soon! Also imagine this- while Fury/Usyk sort their business, Joshua goes on to fight both Hrgovic and a rematch against Parker?? Possibly grabbing the soon to be made vacant IBF belt in the process? That would push the winner of Fury/Usyk's rematch even more towards Joshua if he wins both those previously mentioned fights. Risky for Joshua but boy would that be entertainment.

I was critical of the Helenius fight but the fact of the matter is that it was better than his previous fight and he was continually having better performances. So, good for AJ not becoming stagnant.

If he can get a quick fight in maybe May, then fight on undercard of hrgvic on fury usyk 2 that would be unreal EVERYONE would tune I to see who would be fighting who next

Fury is going to be dominated by Uysk and will carry the torch of the greatest champion of the 2020s

Watching this from Rummy was great and fair to AJ. But it really just drove home for me just how great of a boxer Oleksandr Usyk really is. He just has to stay focused and beat fury. Which total confidence he will and he's #1 in this era.

3:00 Fury’s face 😂😅

Weird how Fury and Wilder got exposed as the worse half of heavyweight. Turns out Usyk and Joshua may have been the two best in the world.

If Joshua can become an undisputed he goes in the top 5 heavyweights imo. It takes so much more character to grow older and regain the titles like Ali than to go unbeaten. That means you overcame yourself and your opponent and the pressure. If Joshua can beat Fury and Usyk he goes down as a great.

As the Parker fight got closer I picked him actually using reverse triangular logic as part of my equation. Or the Ali-Frazier-Foreman effect. We've seen so many times over the years that triangular logic DOESN'T mean anything, so that the reverse must be kind of true. I also thought that the speed of Joyce - he spars with snails and throws them out of the gym for outspeeding him - may have flattered Zhang. As for AJ, then the boxing gods have restored his rep by facing two Fury foes back-to-back. I do think the detractors have a point, in that he's not exactly faced a murderer's row this past year, but it's a solid effort from him, and politically it's exceptional. Plus, we have to thank him for restoring boxing's respect.

Being Active is a plus‼️

Nice one Rummy, cheers from Bonny Scotland, the truth is if AJ, beat King Kong then Godzilla on the same night some small minded people would still give no credit and look for way's to diminish his victory's.

I’m not gonna hold my breath

AGAIN BIG congratulations to Anthony Joshua for his mighty impressive 2nd round Knock-Out victory over the big game Francis Ngannou! Truly unexpected and truly dominant. Incredible how Joshua have bounced back his career and went from having some "mental fears" in a few fights to not only find his way back, but emerge even more dominant then his previous AJ performances of the past. Anthony Joshua have truly taken his past defeats to heart and worked his butt off to improve his game and his mental strenght. Indeed true that Joshua is now THE 2nd BEST heavyweight in the world with only his former conqueror Oleksanr Usyk, the champ ahead! Tyson Fury have nowhere to run now. That big clown can't kick the can down the road any longer. Joshua have back-to-back knocked out both tricky south-paw Otto Wallin and powerhouse Francis Ngannou - BOTH men gave a heck load of trouble for Fury for 24 rounds combined! Joshua took them both out inside 5-6 rounds combined (!) Fury can't trash-talk his way out any longer. He either put-em-up, OR shut-himself-up! Filip Hergovic, Joseph Parker, Zhilei Zhang, Deontay Wilder...the road is open. Hergovic looks most possible in a possible vacant IBF world title clash, but if that gets postponed, I would still love to see him KO Wilder meenwhile to finaly have that former rivalry put to rest and having a "W" over him on his record. Joseph Parker vs. Zhilei Zhang rematch is up next so both men are tangled up, but the winner is absolutley up on the radar as that man will be the WBO mandatory!

He was the landlord, now he's thanos , only 34 got 8 more years.........

Another great little video, thank you! Joshua really does look good again but for Me the real revelation is Joseph Parker! Maybe he should be Joshua's next opponent? On paper it looks like a good fight for AJ as Parker is not a big puncher and it would not only give Parker the chance to avenge the defeat but also earn a small fortune! And to be honest my money would be on Joseph Parker to take a tight decision! AJ looks as good as he ever has but Parker looks better than I have ever seen him and is now quite possibly the best Heavyweight in the world - in my opinion at least!

Excellent video!

anthony aj joshua has been an inspiration twice over in communion with 1960's outer limits!! madone! as always rummy is still the best!

Joshua needs to stay active. He should have 2 more fights this year. He should fight Hrgovic for the stripped IBF title and when he beats him, a rematch with Parker with be a good fight. Then, early next year, AJ can see who comes out victorious between Fury and Usyk.

Quasimodo had a hunch that zhang would be saved by the bells..the bells

Nobody wants to see AJ vs. Usyk (again) rather than AJ vs. Fury right now.

The pendulum was on Furys side after the Joshua ruiz fights and the fury wilder ones but since i think fury has declined and his lack of activity with Joshua being much more active means it's swung back to AJ

Fury is going to be humiliated by Usyk. He’ll make some pathetic man-child excuse and then retire, forever ducking and hiding from AJ. Fact is he is terrified of a fight with AJ because he KNOWS he’ll be flatlined

I'm impressed with Parker's win but it was more like zhang lost the fight than Parker won it

Just don`t make "Boxer A > Boxer B > Boxer C, therefore Boxer A wins Boxer C, mistake" It quite often doesn`t work that way.

"And ladies and gentlemen, Oleksandr Usyk has just beaten Anthony Joshua for the seventh time... I don't know, though, I kind of feel like he should still fight him again, because he looks good against other guys..."

Him and Fury should def fight eachother for a couple of Usyks vacated belts after he wins in may.

Ngannou should enter the powerslap competition. They just stand and let the guy slap them which is what he did for Joshua on each knockdown.

Ben Davis is making Anthony Joshua Great again 👏
