Anthony Joshua vs. Robert Helenius • FULL POST FIGHT PRESS CONFERENCE | DAZN & Matchroom Boxing 

I'm also an AJ fan. And like you...... he's just not the same, is he? Seems a tiny bit scared, hesitant. Ruiz took his soul, I think. This fight was a last minute thing, so good for what it was. Wilder himself isn't a good boxer, he just has a great right hand. I don 't think the old AJ is coming back.

@@MaterLacrymarum I hope you’re wrong but I have to agree. It’s quite sad to see but you never know, he may surprise us against wilder! I actually think he has a better chance against Fury than he does Deontay.

@@Correction294 Wilder only needs one good punch, that's the issue. AJ would have to beat him early. The longer the fight goes on, the more chance AJ will take a big right. If AJ takes one, he ain't recovering.

AJ is the type that likes to take fight into the later rounds, likely used this as a tune-up fight for Wilder. In the end, he's going to fight completely different against Wilder, he will be forced to regardless but this he already knows. But like Lennox, the british style of boxing is to take the fight into deep waters and wear down the opponent as opposed to going for the 1 punch KO.

He is weak minded he doesn't have the killer instinct in him

Tier 2 fighter who became Unified world champ twice? You're a dummy

Tier two fighter thats a two time heavyweight champion. You really have no idea what you're talking about. He may not be the absolute best, but he's elite level in today's division. He can only fight who's in front of him 🤡

@MrAlio101 Yeah, yesterday a guy who fought a week ago was in front of him. He knocks him out in the 7th round? That's not elite. Wilder knocked out that same fighter in the first round. Just sayin. I'm not disappointed by Anthony anymore because I have adjusted my expectations in accordance with his actual performance. Not what he looks like he should be able to do, but what he actually does.

ofc but will it ever happen?

Hey, Antony Weldon brother! Tonight you really proved to us how talented you are, and I'm delighted you did it in your own way without paying attention to the naysayers. Don't listen to the naysayers; that's how they spoke about Mayweather when he was a professional boxer and they helped him succeed by purchasing his tickets and pay-per-views. Do your absolute best at all times.

It'll never happen. Neither will Fury@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE

It really isn't tho is it

Thank you for the truth 👍

@@huibui2978 its not tho is it

It's not bad. Getting fights to happen is bad.

@@MaterLacrymarum i don't know had some big fights over the last 5 years

How was he never something??

@@betterdayz1660he was when he was undefeated but then Ruiz exposed him and then came the others losses. The thing that made tons of people stop supporting him was when he was shown to be a sore loser . Usyk fight was the biggest example of that

​@@juju7845😂😂😂 so Wilder too was never one of the best because he lost?

So he won and now he's waxing poetic. A philosopher he's not and his homage to his coach and Eddie Hearn was a little over the top. I'll wait till the Wilder fight.

Who? Wilder?

And what about AJ?

Exactly bro

💯💯💯💯

@@stevenfinch9026 if he was terrified of taking a punch he wouldn't be fighting at all. If that's a man who is scared to take a punch then I am sure you are all but willing to line yourself up to get punched with no recourse right?

@@stevenfinch9026 once again if he was terrified of taking punches he wouldn't be in the ring. Every fighter is scared of getting hit even if they don't admit it. Just because he has been more hesitant or deliberate in throwing or trading doesn't mean he is terrified.

@@stevenfinch9026 Buddy that's a dumb comment. Is Mayweather terrified of taking a punch too? hahaha

AJ wk t ever go near him. They already rejected 2 offers to fight this year. I’ll be amazed if they actually follow through and fight Wilder next. Will probably be another no hoper.

AJ will lose to wilder brutally come back couple mickey mouse touches and then go for fury in which he'll get schooled. Cash out time.

Easy 5-6 rounds easy

AJ trained for 3 days to fight Helenius while Wilder trained for 3 months. Helenius improved a lot from his fight against Wilder.

Fury himself said he was battered by AJ the only time he shared the ring with him.

Yeah I think you are right. Anyone who is looking for the “old AJ” is going to be disappointed, because he is trying to switch it up as you say. To get caught out with your old style then carry on the same way is just stupid, which I suppose is fitting for all the “fans” that expect that and were booing.

The problem is he was still eating jabs off a poor opponent, a better one will land but do what Helenius couldn’t and follow it up. His early style was that unbeaten confidence and knocking every man out. Unfortunately losing 3 times by stoppage and unanimous decisions has taken that confidence away, no matter what anyone tells him he knows he’s not the best and can be outclassed or hurt.

As soon as AJ gets touched up, he'll resort back to his old ways.

He is not trying to, he has a new trainer with a different so he is.

Glad someone else picked up on this aj is a s c u m bag

Yep. He's fooling no one. He's a bellend.

I thought exactly the same. Guy has zero class and respect. A roadman to the core…

Shallap u lot pick up on every single thing.. it was a fight and he was relieved after. Let the man breathe

Wasn't a big knockout was a big payday Clipped him while his head was moving backwards

He just needs confidence he's lacking that

Most definitely, at minimum he needs two or three more knockout wins just to re-train his brain to let his hands go. I can see the Wilder fight being a disaster, if he fights like he did last night it's lights out, probably.

Agreed

the fight has been delayed long enough stop condoning a duck

He can’t find range against helenius. He won’t find range against wilder or Tyson. he makes tomato cans look greater than they are. Whilst wilder makes tomato cans look exactly like a tomato can.

Wilder will demolish this idiat

I agree up to a point, but if he fights against Wilder like he did last night he's getting knocked out. And that's not good for his well being.

​@oldboy5001 less chance he gets knocked out fighting like this than if he fought like how the fans want him to

He's s ared of gassing out he has no stamina and if he thre combos he would be huffing and puffing in 3 rounds fact .. so I think he's gonna use this approach just to save energy no other reason

The 3,4,5 AJ is a thing of the past. Why people keep asking for it is insane. He's HAD to change styles. Last nights footwork was improvement. AJ - Wilder is HUGE now.

@@stuartball913bro wilder will absolutely knock aj block off

That's what got him caught, he's boxing smart now, and he needs it since his getting old.

Hes getting knocked wotever

Derrick James great coach guide him to the knockout

One punch knockout good work of Art

No chance against Wilder

😂

The guy can't decide which personality to use , it depends if he remembers his media training, otherwise the mask slips and a 🔔END appears

If it’s a retarded critique then it’s obviously not fans

He’s shy gun, he needs to pull the trigger and be more aggressive at times, specially against Wilder

​@@dutchmadeek7374I know working class guys in my gym who would have 100%

@@kibindankoi9824 some rewriting of history going on its pretty obvious AJ and hearn ducked fury! fury fought wilder 3 times after being out of boxing for 3 years why would he be scared of AJ?? thats laughable, fury would walk through him its not even a close fight.. the difference between fury and AJ is that if there was no money in boxing fury would still be a fighter and AJ would be a failed drug dealer

Exactly hence why Fury ducks

AJ couldn’t handle Hellenius jab. Fury would turn his face in to a balloon.

Fury is all wrong for AJ.

no, fury has an iron chin, he won´t go down, fury will box him for 10 rounds and stop him late

Fury ain't ducking, Joshua ain't gd enough to match AJ now, plus, fury has am opperunity to fight nganou n make big money now, and, still fight usyk, Joshua,.. Fury thought wilder 3 times and knocked out whyte, fury done hard work n completed it, Joshua is on the chase, and he needs to finish the year out, fight fury 2024, if Joshua fury don't happen 2024, how can it happen in 2025. Snither thing to remember, negotations, money percentage, if the deal ain't right, there's no fight.

​@@markfox2043utube expects make me laugh.

Gayj will never hold a belt ever again

Where did he struggle

if you watch the way helanious walked on to wilders right hand in round 1 - the only weapon he has - you have to ask questions about that. Wilder won't take the AJ fight unless the Saudis sponsor match room to make him a deal he cant refuse.

Yes AJ is the best.

😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂

What a stupid comment some people are so ignorant … Helenius has only been knocked out cold by Wilder…

AJ trained for 3 days to fight Helenius while Wilder trained for 3 months. Helenius improved a lot from his fight against Wilder.

You're joking right?

You’ve got to be kidding Joshua not even top 5 heavyweight right now

😂😂😂😂 AJ got found out , but his personality was found out as well , once he started losing he forgot his nice guy PR training , and the real AJ was seen, that's why people don't like him. I used to like him and want him to win , but now I know its all a lie

​@@steve101a+

True

He got found out , the media trained AJs mask slipped and the real 🔔END came out , once you see it , I won't support it , he has been fake , and his real personality is a joke, it's not our fault we turned , he brought it on himself

Cynic much?

He has the African community behind him, why would AJ even care about a bunch of plastic fans, divas, or online detractors from the UK ? You guys are the most ungrateful creatures on the face of this planet, when it comes to supporting your own athletes. AJ should seriously switch to representing Nigeria instead at this point.

It didn't work. You can tell how aj was disappointed and he took a fair amount of punishment. The guy is done

No wonder Joshua pays no attention to the "experts" online

@@justinpennington7682 won’t happen overnight, but each fight he has improved on certain things. He won’t be up to standards yet

@@justinpennington7682made it a good fight . Would of sucked if it ended in 30 secs

Yet here you are commenting on a nobody 😂

But yet the best heavyweight seller

Was he a bum when wilder fought him???

@@REAL-ow3nureally? In a half empty small arena and people were booing and walking out by the fourth round.

@@terrellnesbitt8835 Yep

This is what I thought.

Hellenius was paid to not hit AJ with any big bombs...he just pawed his jab and kept getting through so much so that he gave AJ a bloody nose and puffed up eyes. Hellenius was set up to lose and still AJ looked terrible...shame..

The problem with saying he was clever and clinical is that he was eating jabs and only stopped him once he visably ran out of steam. Fury and Usyk make a mockery of that calibre of opponent while Wilder smashed him out in a round. His performance wasn’t impressive at all and you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Nice too see him winning again and fair play he got the job done but Helenius is several levels below elite.

​@@zeeadams121you controdicting yourself. 😂 Cry more

​@@Nisbet5060hater

AJ fights bums since Ruiz took his soul. Wilder would destroy him.

​@@hughzapretti-boyden9187who else has wilder fought since fury took his soul?

He had a 60/40 offer to fight Tyson and never took it …. So not really 🤷🏻‍♂️

You must be teddy Hearn…right?

100% man it winds me up how people are comparing. Was a good performance considering the situation

people just love hating on AJ, AJ will never get the credit he deserves. i'm team AJ thougn

BINGO

I'll still be watching him either way like him or don't he hasn't refused an opponent in front of him and always tried to fight the best

he was fighting for himself and to try and build his confidence.. he did nothing for the crowd lol

@@donnybrasco9330he should be fighting for himself. Fuck the crowd.

@michael43567...what are you babbling on about man...AJ was shockingly bad until the KO...the crowd was booing because they have paid their hard earned money to watch an exciting display from AJ ...not a dysfunctioning robot that was walking around the ring gor five rounds ...AJ is terrible and the new trainer is adding nothing new...

Watch the first Whyte fight or his win against Klitschko he has lost that aggression completely since then

@@philiplewis4780 lol casuals

Nothing to do with aggression, he only shown aggression at the low level against bums and has beens, wilder and fury render him unconscious, guys a stiff robot never on the world level. Just a fabricated rags to riches character, never won Olympic quarter final. Olympic final and never beat a reigning world champ just bums and vacant dossers like Charles Martin

I think it's because he knows he can't take a punch! He didn't look like he had any confidence. Luckily Helenious wasn't very good.

What aggression? Like knocking a 6ft9 giant out cold?

Why does he aj hasn't even been knocked out or hurt bad and wilder won't do it he is awfull worst wbc champion ever

​@@andy2511UTBhe can't box , he struggled against a journeyman who recently fought , he could only get him out of there when the guy was gassed

@@steve10 he can box he is a far better boxer than wilder mate RH was on the run from round 1 dont forget they have recently spa in camp and he hit him with a brilliant shot

@@andy2511UTB I agree he is better than Wilder, but Wilder has that dangerous power , you need to be on your toes to move out the way , and be quick to counter. Wilder literally throws punches off balance so can be caught , but AJ was flat footed tonight , he looked shot shy as well , and you can't delay throwing the right and just rely on the jab. AJ needs another fight and needs to improve his movement to fight Wilder , its not Wilders boxing you fear.

@@steve10 his power is no better than aj if aj hits wilder like that tonight wilder is gone and i think he boxed to a plan jab followed by the big right he looked for it all fight and it worked people want to see him going out from round 1 trying to take heads off swinging wild why

For 60M anybody is

AJ gets smoked by Fury and Wilder. It's why he won't fight them.

I appreciate your sincere analysis.

He's revealing himself as nothing more than a piece of scum! And his promoter isn't much better!

Come on last min replacement against a taller fighter

I totally agree with you

I don’t get this either tbh, he’s an Olympic gold medalist, clearly a very good amateur and is a 2 time heavyweight champion. Learning on the job is Johnny Fisher, world calibre is what AJ should he.

He is finished as a top fighter

Lol all of a sudden Zhang is a top heavyweight because he beat Joyce. Zhang is shite!!! Joyce wasn’t just as good as y’all thought he was

That’s correct Roy Hamilton but there were a lot of times watching the fight where the pre Riaz AJ would of flown in esp when Helanius was tired on the ropes n gone in and finished him off with 3/4/5/6 punches this still is not happening? It’s still the big punch but not fully commiting himself he s still holding back too much . I always think of a Iron Mike Tyson , there were times in the fight where u just wish he had that iron Mike dawg in him n went in full blooded 3/4:5 punches but it’s still half hearted going in scared of getting hit back hard ? Helanius could of been taken out earlier but the fire still isn’t in his belly he has to smell the death and it’s still not there he s over reaching rather than going in full hearted for the kill just my opinion . Also I worry about him fighting Wilder he doesn’t have the defensive skills or movement that Tyson has , I want him to lose all that muscle really it slows you down if you watch him before he put on the muscle he moved a lot faster Try find his earlier fights around the Olympics he s a total wrecking machine and the speed was frightening imo . He only has to look back at himself !

We’ll that’s the thing, he can’t go back to be his younger self. He can only do his best with what he still has. This KO was definitely BIG for him because it gives him that confidence back. I think he’ll be more than prepared, and if not I think he’ll have another tuneup in between.

Bro Usyk mentally destroyed him.

Slow^

You say pre Ruiz AJ, you mean the fight where he got caught out by being too reckless ? He’s changed it up

As a Brit, I'd back Wilder all the way. He's an honest man.

Fury lasted 12 with Wallin nd should have been stopped ....Wilder was loosing rounds against Ortiz ...so those 2 are not untouchable...you just hate Joshua

@@puisanoradebe5468 Fury Wallin was an interesting one. Wilder decked Ortiz fair and square, and Joshua disrespects all of his opponents, which is a shit move from a shit boxer. Mike Tyson was always concerned for the welfare of his opponents. Wilder was concerned about Helanius to the point that he cried. AJ is both shit AND an arsehole.

@@puisanoradebe5468 😂😂😂 I don’t hate Joshua that is such a ridiculous comment you made!!! After the performance I saw that he did against this hand pick short notice fighter witch , I’m sure very well selected and hand-picked !! Joshua didn’t look very impressive and this fighter wasn’t exactly a real Gem 💎! And let’s get real is promotional team has avoided Furry for years. Which by the way I have no respect for Joshua or his promotional team for not fighting fury. Wilder we have no problem finding Joshua and nailing him we already know now that Joshua has a weak chin. But I don’t hate Joshua.

@@marktyler3381 I mean realistically now that we know Joshua has a weak chin I mean could you imagine wilder going in there and just swinging away. I could see Joshua running all night or trying to there is no way he would try to go toe to toe with Wilder. Now that we are really know that he’s gotta glass chin. I mean Ruiz Caught him and he’s more of a combination puncher wilder just one but if you got one or two it would be lights out for Joshua there’s no doubt in my mind

Wilder isn't a good boxer. He has a killer right hand, but overall, he's not good.

​@MaterLacrymarum 41-2-1 with a draw and both losses against a all time great as well as dropping him 3 times despite losing and koed all other opponents. How the fuck is that not good?

@@jaonite As I said, great right hand, but not a great boxer. Look at any of his fights. He's someone who wins if he connects with the right, but probably not if he doesn't.

Wilder isn't a technical boxer. What he is, unlike AJ, is a fighter.@@MaterLacrymarum

​@@MaterLacrymarumactually he showed technical ability with a great jab up until 2nd fight with fury when he out on weight
