just done by design. This thing by accident. I can't believe you get you guys would think that I want to train in this place.
We were just talking about heaters. I told her I said we got to get some heat. I know we going to have to have some heating.
Phoenix and little things. I seen the I seen the heat. You're on the plane.
We went to Phoenix cuz hell was booked. You know what I mean? [laughter] You know, in training camp and in life when times get hard.
I've been blessed to be around people that are older than me [music] and live longer than me, which means that they're wiser than me. And I listen and they give me experience [music] and valuable assurance that life is tough. So when it gets tough in my journey, believe me, I'm not the only one going through it.
So it keeps my head high, my feet on the ground, and I keep striving because we're here once. I need this. Come on.
I need this. Hey, hey, hey. Yeah.
Come on. Just like that. Don't go like this.
Go like and again. Pop that long jack. There you go.
And again. There you go. Beautiful.
Pop that long one too. But you break here. Unpredictable.
Exactly. Mike. Beautiful roll, Mike.
Excellent. Excellent. Complete game.
Complete. Beautiful game. Complete.
[music] There's nothing to say. Anthony Joshua just gained the ultimate weapon as Mike Tyson arrives in camp, changing the entire atmosphere before his career-defining clash with Tyson Fury. Come on.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Tyson, once critical of Joshua's lack of elusiveness, is now building a new foundation in him to become sharper, smarter, and harder to hit against Fury. Foundation made him more elusive. You know what I mean?
More elusive. He throws his punches with just bad intentions. And um I used to believe the um the consistency of the hard punches to the body, to the head, what he's capable of doing.
Working with the legend, Joshua feels renewed confidence, revealing how this motivation has made him feel alive, different, and ready to conquer Fury in their battle. Coming here first, I'm a bit skeptical person. I've had a good camping Shepherd, right?
So, it's kind of upsetting a good pattern. So, come in here, you've never boxed in here before, you're going to spar in here, and you haven't kind of any gym you go into, even if you're sparring your your opponent or your spiring partner, the gym's got some character and atmosphere. You can just feel the energy that's been in there before.
This gym just felt like empty. It didn't have the life in it. But now, I feel like having a first session in here, it's good cuz like you kind of take the cobwebs away.
You bring some life to the gym. you get familiar with the countless and all that. It's important.
You know, much more is expected from this powerful collaboration, but the latest developments surrounding Joshua's fight with Fury are already creating massive excitement worldwide. So, it makes it an interesting fight. We're all going to have an opinion on who wins, who loses, and we're not going to find that out until November, hopefully when we get this fight over the line.
That's a very good segue into when we believe this fight is going to be. Now the direction of travel that they're talking about next week [music] when Turkey shake Spencer Brown Frank and George Warren Eddie Hearn Frank Smith they all sit around the table Netflix seller maybe Dana White who's going to have some involvement he's still saying that Zu for Boxing are going to have some involvement of it all arrows are pointing across the pond at the moment and we're going to take your calls on this as well tonight the venue for this massive fight is already creating heated debates with Gareth A. Davies revealing the possibility of a November date for the showdown.
Joining the discussion is Spencer Oliver, who believes staging this historic battle in America would be a major disappointment for British fans. According to him, the fight carries deep British significance and deserves a home stage where supporters can witness the moment live. Those arrows pointing across the pond.
Is it right that it takes place indoors at Madison Square Garden [music] on November the 14th, which is what people are talking about at the moment as the potential date, rather than indoors at the O2 Arena in London, which is just as iconic for these two fighters and it's the same number of seats. That's exactly right. I was going to say that there's the same number of seats and yeah, it's, you know, iconic and the history of it.
or Muhammad Ali and all the other great heavyweights that have boxed at Madison Square Garden. I understand that, but this is a fight for the British fight fans who have supported these guys over the last decade, have been there, traveled abroad for both of these guys as well. The fight fans sort of first training with Usyk and now bringing Mike into his camp, Joshua is using every possible tactic to reach his best shape.
But Frank Warren has criticized the approach. After watching his performance against Pringa, Warren questioned why training with Usyk did not make a difference. Instead of showing a new version, Joshua delivered a display many fans found disappointing.
Warren predicts Fury will stop him and mocks his routine, saying he can build muscles but cannot strengthen his chin. What do I make of it? Look, I I I watch I I think Tyson's a big favorite.
I've said that all along. You know, Styles make fights and I think Tyson will stop AJ. He would do he would do what Daniel Dubois did.
Did you think so? On ages performance, do you think he looked, you know, a little bit past his best? Well, he's not the same guy he is, is he?
I mean, you know, how old is he now? He's he's like, "Oh, it's like I'm an old old ger. We're not the you know, he he's been working out with us and and doing what he's got to do.
" But look, you can and he looks incred They've got him doing a new difficult different physical regime. But what you can't do in boxing, you can't put muscles on your chin. Similarly, Teddy Atlas believes Fury enters the fight with a major advantage after analyzing Joshua's performance against Pringa.
The experienced trainer feels the bout could expose weaknesses in Joshua's game, especially against Fury's unusual movement, size, and unpredictable style. Atlas questions whether Joshua can make the necessary adjustments when facing a fighter who creates problems from different angles. His comments have added more pressure on Joshua to prove he can overcome Fury's unique challenge.
Believe that the way I saw Joshua early in the fight, how you know how, again, how available he was, if that's fair. And again, he'll be better, too. [music] You know, he he he'll be more alert.
He know that he that he has uh more of a danger in front of him. But I just think that the hand speed, [music] the length, the ability of Fury, the legs to be on the outside that maybe he could get to Joshua before Joshua could get to him. Does that make sense?
Because Joshua is going to probably have to be for me the fight plan would be always with Joshua. You want to back the guy up with that stiff jab you got. You got a good stiff hard jab.
Breaking down the potential outcome, Atlas explains how the battle between Joshua and Fury could develop inside the ring. He highlights the key moments where both heavyweights could use their physical advantages, technical abilities, and experience to gain control. According to him, the fight could come down to strategy, timing, and how effectively each man handles pressure.
His analysis reveals the tactical areas where Joshua and Fury have opportunities to impose their strengths and change the direction of the contest. You want to back him up and set the table, you know, you want to set the table, go to the body, go, but you want to set the table for the right hand for the most part. And you want to control that that distance with that jab where where you you clear the way, you back him up.
You you you keep him, you know, defensive. And I think that Fury his ability to use his legs to counter punch to put punches together to run punches that he have a chance where Joshua stands up a little bit in front of you. He's a little bit he's not the quickest feet to close have a chance to run some punches before he closes the gap.
Does that make sense? Then comes the opinion of the man Joshua worked with before joining Usyk, Ben Davidson, who shares his thoughts on the heavyweights journey, recent changes, and the decisions shaping his preparation. Ben Davidson explains his thoughts on Joshua's performance against Prrena and analyzes how the fight unfolded.
He also discusses how Pringa managed to surprise many observers with his approach, creating unexpected moments that caught fans and experts offguard during the contest. So, who gets it right on the night? Who gets the tactics right?
And um you know sometimes small little things fight week and you know these little bits can can have a huge impact. So obviously they're two top operators and um that that's what everybody's tuning in for to find out who who's going to come out on top. A lot of people obviously tuned in after everything that had happened with Anthony Joshua and they were saying it's going to be an easy job with Pinga.
I think Panga shock shocks everybody that night. What did you make of AJ's performance overall? I think that it's very difficult.
I I've been in the situation before when you got to fight a massive fight like Tyson and AJ signed. According to Ben, this is what happens when a fighter faces immense pressure and he believes Joshua experienced exactly that. In his view, the pressure of securing the Fury mega fight affected him mentally.
However, he reminded everyone that Joshua bounced back strongly in the second half, showing resilience and determination. His ability to recover surprised many and left fans impressed by how he responded when the situation seemed to be turning against him. practically signed.
You're going into you got this tick over everybody's assuming you to go in and do this job. That brings a hell of a lot of pressure. And um yeah, I think he went in there maybe a little bit with I'll take my time and you know, be safe, get the job done and um yeah, got off to a shaky start obviously, but I think settled, realized, hold on a minute, you know, not here to mess about.
Went out there and got the job done the second. So obviously was was pleased to see that. A lot of people on social media, Simon Jordan was one in particular, saying that he thought that it was fixed.
What's your reaction to that? I haven't got one. No.
Meanwhile, Tony Bellow has pushed back against the growing criticism surrounding Joshua's ability to take punches. He believes the constant doubts about his chin are unfair and should not define his career. Bellow insists that unless Joshua is brutally stopped by an elite heavyweight, questioning his durability makes little sense.
Looking back at the Pringa fight, he highlights how Joshua absorbed pressure, recovered, and showed the mental and physical toughness that continues to make him a dangerous opponent when he's never been starched and he's never been flatlined. He always gets up. Even against Even against Daniel, he always gets up.
Once again, don't quote that gosh to me. He's an [ __ ] of the highest order. Anyone who works for that rag, I'd never speak about him.
So, we're going to have to change the quote about why you gonna have to ask me that question. Uh he's people I seen something on social media and they were saying, "Oh, his chin or he's short or he's this or he's that. " The fact that he gets up shows you there's absolutely nothing wrong with his chin.
Fitness is what gets fights off the floor. Anyone who knows boxing understands the science of it. Anyone can go down.
It takes 2. 5 lb of pressure. Additionally, Tony Bellow believes Joshua deserves credit for accepting the challenge of facing Fury when many others would avoid it.
He explains that fighters know the problems Fury creates inside the ring. But Joshua still has the tools to cause serious damage. According to Bellow, outpointing Fury over 12 rounds would be a difficult task.
So Joshua must look for a defining moment. He believes a dramatic knockout could be the path to victory. do the list of the other heavyweights.
Out of all of the dangerous other heavyweights, the top 10 in the world, Anthony Joshua would be picking Tyson Fury to face because [snorts] all of the others have got more pop than him. And and and [music] with just that alone, you would be picking Tyson Fury. He's the boxer.
He's the one who doesn't want to have a straightup fight with you. He's the one who wants to box you. And the best usually way to beat a boxer, well, it is just get rid of them.
And I think that's Anthony Joshua's best chance. If this fight goes to point Anthony Joshua loses, Anthony Joshua has to win by knock to win this fight in my opinion. Yeah, he's not going to out, let's be honest, he's not going to out box Tyson Fury.
No, I don't think so. I think that's right. Yeah, definitely.
[music] We know what Tyson Fury's like, he did say in the uh in the buildup that speaking about the potential clash, Andre Deral feels both heavyweights may benefit from another fight before facing each other. He believes their recent displays have raised doubts about whether they are truly ready for such a high pressure event. According to Derell, Fury and Joshua need to show they can still compete at the highest level before meeting in the ring.
A strong performance in their next appearances could help rebuild confidence and create more anticipation for the showdown. Nah, this is all it's going to be. Like your thoughts on Joshua and Fury, we we will get the most out of what they have left as they decide to fight right now.
However, if we let them get another [clears throat] another dub, you know, another warm up, cuz both of them, in my book, bro, it didn't play out right for me. You know what I'm saying? So, it's just like we don't get the best versions, but we get the best of who they are now.
You know what I'm saying? If they just clean up a few things because Anthony Joshua though trying to implement whatever Uzi gave him, you know what I'm saying? The confidence he gained or the mentality he went in there because of the accident losing his friends gave him Spiritually, man, he was hacked in.
He was locked in. Furthermore, Daryl shared his perspective on the issues affecting Joshua inside the ring. He believes Joshua has rebuilt his mentality and remained focused following the Usyk defeats, but the improvements made during training have not fully appeared during fights.
Daryl feels the execution is still missing when the pressure rises. He also suggests Fury should take another bout, refine his approach, and improve his overall sharpness before stepping into a major showdown with Joshua. your body still going to respond the way it need it has to respond to certain situations man and that's just due to you know whatever trauma you had to deal with right or the normacy of just living long enough if you didn't get into an accident that's that was AJ's case man he was too flatfooted he was trying to implement I guarantee you what Uzi gave him in camp but you can't be Uzi cuz I know Uzi giving him the ins and the outs he built for power he structured for strength, you know, so you're not going to get that kind of fighter.
He was trying to bring it out after being gone, after everything that happened to him, and it didn't work out, man. So, give him another fight to try to implement it a little bit more, little lose a little bit more weight, and then bring it to the table, and it might work. Analyzing Fury's position in the matchup, Daryl also identified opportunities where Joshua could make an impact.
He believes Fury is not currently at his best physically or technically to exchange directly with Joshua. According to Derell, Fury still has areas that require improvement before facing such a dangerous opponent. At the same time, he emphasized that Joshua's ability to absorb punishment and handle heavy shots will remain one of the biggest factors that could influence the final result.
He had a hard time as well, man. He he was vulnerable in a couple of situations where he gave the right side of his face. If Anthony Joshua was line that fight that that shot up, it's over.
He land that shot, it's over. So, he need to get back in the in in the lab and just work on some things, too. But, if they fight now, you know, I would expect to see the best of what they got left.
And, you know, I'll be satisfied with that. I I compared uh Anthony Joshua and Edgar Belanga. Two guys that they're they're getting touched with the same punches and they're going down.
What do you think that is? Like, what's causing them to to hit the canvas as much as they've been hitting the canvas? Right.
Right. Not wanting to like, you know, if if that's on your mind. A surprising revelation has emerged from Pringa's camp after his dramatic night against Joshua.
Keith Sullivan, Pringa's manager, has shared details that could change how fans view the fight. He claims Pringa entered the contest without being fully prepared as illness affected his condition and prevented him from completing a proper training camp. Sullivan revealed that the fighter arrived in Jedha below his usual level, offering a new perspective on the struggles behind Prena's second round stoppage loss.
leading up to the fight. He [music] didn't he didn't spar or train for two weeks before he got to Jedha. He had 102 fever and he was in bed for eight days straight.
We brought a doctor into camp. He moved camp over to Dubai. [music] So, he brought a doctor in, drew some blood to make sure there wasn't something more serious going on and they said he was just run down and they thought it was a, you know, a flu or a cold or something and and he would get over it.
And it took 14 days. So, we had the last seven days before we went to Jedha for training. We had a sparring partner there in Dubai who we didn't use at all because he just had no we we we couldn't get him out of bed to go for a walk in the first round.
He came out and and just gassed himself out. The instructions in the corner for the second round were continue what you're doing. The boxing world is stunned by these latest revelations with many fans viewing them as excuses.
However, Keith Sullivan remains confident in his claims and continues to explain the reality behind Pringa's performance. He insists the fighter entered the bout facing major physical struggles. Unable to follow the planned strategy, Sullivan's comments have added another layer of controversy to a fight that already sparked intense debate among fans.
Stunned what happened to him like in an instant. He said it just it all came right back to him and the lack of training, the lack of cardio that he wasn't able to do in the 3 weeks leading up to him, they caught him right at that moment. So in his head, he's he he kind of changed the game plan from what he was instructed to do.
He he said to himself, "I've got AJ's number. I've knocked him down three times. I don't care what anybody says.
It was three knockdowns. Those ropes held him up absolutely in between the two counted knockdowns. You see his body flop back.
If those ropes aren't there, he's on the flat of his back. " And and and Christian Pringa has knocked a two-time Olympian, three-time heavyweight world champion on his ass three times in the first round. And and and Anthony Joshua is going into the second round 106 down.
That's never happened in his life. While many fans continue talking about Joshua being dropped in the opening round against Pringa, Roy Jones Jr. believes the real story begins afterward.
He praises Joshua for recovering so quickly and taking control in the second round, calling it a sign of strong character and resilience. Jones even says that if Andre Ward had suffered the same early setback, the fight would likely have been over, making Joshua's response even more remarkable with right now. Now, I got to give kudos to him cuz he came back off of those two knockdowns and got out of that second round.
That was a beautiful thing. But I immediately started thinking, man, if this was Andre. Yeah.
I don't know if he got this first round. I don't know if he got this first round now because this would be something special. So I I definitely had to think about you on that.
And as soon it happened, I said, "Oh my gosh. " I said, "Wow. " I said, "Boy, if this was Andre, this would be a problem right now.
" You feel me? So, you know, I can't say I didn't think that, man. I just had to share that with you cuz it didn't come over me.
Yeah. I appreciate that. Shout out to Joshua, man.
He, you know, he may go down, but but he he going to always get up if he can. He got a lot of heart, man. And I got a lot of respect for him, man.
And I'm, you know, I want the Fury fight to happen. I think it got to happen right now, just given where they are in their careers. Alexander Usyk has offered his prediction after closely following Joshua's recent progress.
Having shared the ring with him twice, Usyk believes this heavyweight clash will not last the full distance. He expects the contest to end by knockout rather than the judges scorecards. Usyk also believes Joshua still possesses the power and determination to change a fight instantly, warning that underestimating him could prove to be a costly mistake for Fury.
Very last thing, when Anthony Joshua fights Tyson Fury, I know you think Joshua will win, but how what does the fight look like? Knock him out. Six rounds.
AJ, the Joshua versus Fury story is getting more intense with every new revelation, and the questions keep growing. From training changes to expert predictions and unexpected details from Pringa's camp, the heavyweight world is watching closely. What do you think will happen when these two giants finally meet?
