Have you ever watched a build up fight interview between AJ and his opponents over the years..
He feeds an lives on fake intimidation.
Classic bully tactics.
Go on Danny.

I try to actively avoid all the pre bout stuff, to be honest. It's all about hype, about selling the fight. It's a marketing man's dream. Let them do their talking in the ring. All credit to DD; he did just that.

I genuinely thought he knocked usyk out. He's clearly got a bang on him. Top job by him

He was robbed that night IMO. I don’t mind AJ but fancied Dubois to spring a surprise. Or is it that much of a surprise? Tremendous display.

His manager is a definite bully. Eddie Hearn. He was the ringleader of a group of bullies who relentlessly bullied the ex glamour model Jodie Marsh at school.

He looks like a ****
Acts like a ****
Ergo he's a ****

I remember him trying to intimidate Colin Murray on a fighting talk episode until Murray brought out his East Belfast to slap him down.

It didn’t go down as much as Joshua ; )

Aj needs to stop getting these rematches, its the definition of insanity doing the same things over and over expecting diff results

He done a good job on Ruiz in the rematch just kept him at bay with his jab.

I don't see a different outcome in the rematch with Dubois, Same with when he faced Usky again a fight he was never going to win.

He's finished. He's not at the table anymore and hasn't been in a long time.

But that's my point mate.
99% of fights are won in the build up between the fighters.
I know you say you avoid it but watch the interview between them.
Classic psychology between someone who is confident and someone who is a bully.

If u want to know how sky sets an agenda just watch this boxing, every pundit said they didnt think dubois had this in him and joshua would win, it just shows how little they know anyone who follows boxing knows that dubois had it in him just whether he could put it together on this stage.
