Anthony Joshua

Big man AJ shining out in Dubai

He is the Heavyweight Champion of the World, still lives in a 2 bedroom flat with his mum in London.

He's becoming a bit of a WIS

I've seen him wearing


The AP in the above pic
Rose gold Royal Oak chrono
Rose gold Skydweller
Steel AP tourbillion
Everose Day Date
Rose gold Nautilus

Building quite a collection

That thing must weigh a ton. Good thing he’s a big guy, lol. Is that Nicholas Hamilton on the end. I can’t tell.

That's quite the watch, I like it.

Now are we just going to sit there and pretend we do not see that gigantic chain on his neck?

Whatever it is they’ve ruined it.

Is it even real? Looks like a brick but has polished center links and gold instead of black pushers.

Whatever you do, if you see him in the club, don't ask him if its a G-Shock! Or, if you do, be prepared to run!

Speaking of clubs, one of my friends was with him at a club and even let him try his watch on. The pictures were crazy

Oh, AJ, you had to go too far, hope you can stay humble that was your USP.

Personally though i find it ridiculous for any company to have a "brand ambassador" wearing anything that isnt somewhat mainstream for the brand they are representing. It makes no sense otherwise, as is that really going to inspire anyone to go buy one? No because its discontinued and unavailable, and not really representative of AP anyway.

I agree with your point. However, I can see how wearing such a statement piece gets people talking, thereby increasing the exposure of the brand. Ie. this thread

I have to Say, as much as he comes across a bit of a media trained machine, I kinda hope he stays the nice guy, he's run his mouth a bit on Twitter lately, I hope he doesn't turn into a late 90's / early 2000's Mike Tyson type character. It doesn't suit him, it's all been said and done and it's kinda boring.
The mix of Mike Tyson explosive knockouts and the character of a humble respectable guy like the Klitschkos would see him gain a much bigger following in the long run

Hope he can keep his feet on the ground, but we saw it with Freddie Flintoff, a good old pie-eating Northern boy who then when he was boxing wore an iced out Cartier Santos and went from having his hair looking like it was brushed by a brick to looking like Emelie Sande.

Guys, relax on Joshua. He's not going last long enough as champ to get a big head.

Why? What's his major weakness? He's got the temperament, punching power and a good chin. I don't see anyone challenging him other than with a lucky punch.

Agree x 2

He can KO Wilder but then again big fights like that are rigged

Joshua is a very well media trained boxer, Wilder will beat him. If you want the British public to be behind you, you have to do the whole "I am humble despite my success" thing, alas Adele. I can't wait for that fight to put my money where my mouth is.
