I'm not his biggest fan, which I'm sure he can live with, but Joshua is a giant here.

Set up by his PR team. Need to maintain the image to keep they endorsements coming in! I can't wait till he starts strangling hookers

humbly strangling hookers of course !

so what if it's a PR set up ?
It leaves a warm, Christmassy feeling inside - well done AJ.

I think it would take a lot of effort to fake appearing to be that welcoming. If it was Briggs he'd have gone for the knockout.

I’ve always thought Joshua is a genuinely good man

Great stuff, even if AJ were being a total phony I bet it still made a huge difference for her. He can't' do anything without people going on about phoniness, there are plenty of stories of him being great to fans without big shoots being done

And I thought that was Shannon Courtney at first, claim to fame having trained at a gym AJ once did

Great ambassador for the game and elevates the sport for everyone else.

Why people don’t get behind this man is beyond me. Sourpuss AJ haters can go fornicate themselves with a ceremonial mace, this man doing well is a good thing!

'Hardcores' , the self styled 'real fans' tend to hate the popular guy. Bitter negative people

Joshua has met young ams from our gym on a number of occasions away from the cameras and you would not find anybody happier to give up time and chat to young boxers.

What if I don't hate but just don't rate his ability nor buy into his persona... is that allowed?

I think Shannon would've been blowing out of his arse after the first.

'LET'S SLOW, CHAMP!'

Sure, though what would convince you he's actually a nice guy with time for people? Look at what our man Jon says for example...

Nice one AJ, you could see how delighted she was.

I agree its a lovely image and typical of the guy to find time for important things like that .

and if saying that make me a " fanboy " well so be it .

He's all over the place - 1 minute he's humble, the next he's demanding we bow to his feet. He's obviously been watching interviews with Ali in the build up, quotes like "I'll show you how great i am when i beat Ruiz", then his little rhyme post fight on Saturday. All things considered I see a commercial machine with a carefully managed persona with his ghetto background exposing itself every now & then. I don't hate him by any stretch, but he's not for me, in the ring or out of it. Tbh i kinda feel the same about Wilder and Fury too, they all have limitations and struggle with finding their celebrity persona.

PR stunt or not, I loved it. Thanks for posting!

Never mind all that, the woman in the video...wouldya?

Least he can do is things like this, Just took home £80m from a country that sentences kids to death and stones women to death,

he seems pretty genuine. Certainly engaging. I've seen athletes who look quite contrived in these situations. But not here.

I don’t doubt he’s a nice guy

How can you not rate someone's ability when they hold versions of a world title and won Olympic gold ?

The persona thing I get , but if I'd ever been good enough to win a world title at anything I'd consider I'd done bloody well .

He's despised AJ for every second of his career and has never missed the opportunity to put the boot in. Hatred clouds judgment.
