Let’s first welcome to the ring from Cameroon he is the lineal MMA heavyweight world champion Francis the predator in [Applause] G well as you can see on the screen there the street fighter effects enter the Predator Francis andaru the lineal MMA heavyweight champion former UFC heavyweight champion who won his boxing debut back in October took on the lineal boxing heavyweight champion in Tyson Fury and he gave the world really a

Night that they’ll never forget he sent ripples around the world by knocking down Fury in the third round he still insists that he won that fight he believes he will be beating Anthony Joshua on Friday night and he is some specimen Andy Clark he absolutely is and when you see

Him stride into the ring there for me anyway he he makes that walk to the ring kind of shrouded in this era of mystery still because off the back of that performance what we do know is that he’s an awful lot better than we thought he would be but it’s still quite difficult

To work out exactly how good he is and exactly what he’s capable of against Joshua and that makes it fascinating for us and potentially quite difficult for his opponent because you never want to underestimate anybody and I don’t think there’ll be any chance of that happening

After what he did at the end of last October but also as Ben Davis has said to us yesterday Joshua’s trainer you also don’t want to be overestimating anybody because that way you could just allow them a root into the fight you can allow them to grow into the fight so

He’s got a lot going for him from a psychological point of view there’s Ben ringside with with Lee Wy one of the the coaching staff who does a lot of great work with their video analysis and it was interesting talking to them yesterday talking to Ben yesterday

Johnny about how they really study tape in a way that other people don’t and it makes a lot of sense because when you watch somebody fight whether it’s your fighter or the opposition fighter there are certain things that they will do that are hard wide into them Natural

Instincts that are very unlikely to change patterns that you can pick up on habit habit habit you pick up you pick up fight habit how they talk how they walk how they interact with people how they are and it’s and that’s how you study a fighter keep watching them and

And and the fighter yourself there’s habits you might have but yet actually don’t realize you’ve got this is what Ben was talking about that Anthony Joshua does so now he understand his his job with Anthony Joshua his job with Anthony Joshua is I’m not going to show

You anything for you I’m just going to show you what you are doing and what you aren’t doing and then you can figure that out for yourself this is my assessment of it so therefore if a if Anthony can take that that confidence and that belief into this fight then it

Should be day and night now looking at angano you know I know for a fact when he yeah I know for a fight when he boxed the uh uh Fury yes and and this is not a dis it’s not a disrespect because he was king of MMA Brandon always said if you

Fight a fight that doesn’t know how to fight I mean we’re talking digital boxing that the worst wases to fight because you not know what going to shot they’re going to throw and G threw some kind of hatchet shot there up Superman punch but but you can get away with in

In your sport not in our sport you shouldn’t be able to anyway but what I’m saying is when a man is doing something so unorthodox that you can’t pref prefer for how do you prepare for him how do you prepare for a man that that actually doesn’t have the the boxing pedigree cuz

You’re going to get Fighters that going there that hold the hands up use a jab use your right hand step around correctly they’ll have that that Unwritten step back conversation still we don’t know this man’s going to do everything against the rules so now this is about again I’m quoting brenon again

Schools teach you to remember he taught us to think you’ve got to be able to think in the ring so so Ben Davison will will have will have showed things to Anthony Joshua for him to remember Anthony Joshua needs to be now in a position to think if you can think you

Can think on your feet you can you can adapt so AJ needs to be able to think when he’s in there think on the job and if he can think on the job therefore nothing UNS should happen because he’s thinking on the job if he goes in like a

Robot and thinks I’m doing this I’m doing that don’t do that don’t do this he’s going to get turned over because this guy’s too unorthodox for our sport because how you going to prepare for somebody like that unless he’s going to get other other other MMA fighters in

There with him what was interesting was in the buildup to anu’s fight with Tyson Fury there was a video that went out of enanu on the pads and it got widely panned and people were saying this guy doesn’t know what he’s doing this guy’s got no chance Fury’s going to knock him

Out immediately we see you’re taking us all a little bit for a fool Johnny no not at all I he is what he he is what he is even when he was here he said look I’m a man you know I can I can punch I

Can hurt I’m not going to be impressed by your pedigree I don’t care at least being guys that have have been successful in their field on his way up in in his sport and and and the success he had with with with Tyson Fury you know you’ve got to give him credit like

We didn’t uh and you’ve got to give TI VI discredit because because he underestimated him I don’t think that would ever happen again I think Titan Fury now knows what’s in front of him he’d be in the condition he’s in now to fight a guy that’s if they fought again

Don’t think it will happen again what I’m saying with this guy here we can’t sleep on him we have the the gift of hindsight now we know what he’s about we know that he’s cool he’s not going to be intimidated he’s very comfortable in his own skin so AJ can’t be intimidating

This guy he can’t be looking at him like yo don’t do that I’ve seen it before um um with AJ junor AJ’s now in there with a grown man that believes he is going to win it’s not trash talk it’s not American Trash Talk he thinks I want

Some of this and he he’s actually very polite about it and I think AJ senses that this is why this fight there so much that that big if just keeps knocking me on the back of the head but I’m interested you know what’s interesting Andy is also that the buildup to this

Fight compared to the fight with Tyson Fury you think about the the press conferences the name calling I can’t remember how many times Tyson actually called this man uh not the not the kid on the screen but but the man that you just saw a sausage relentlessly called

Him a sausage all the time was up at the presser was shouting was pointing Big John was there Mike Tyson was there as well but the build up with Anthony Joshua it’s been very very respectful it has been what was interesting about what we saw from the

Pair of them back at the end of October was that Fury went full Fury all week and we expected that and aanu just didn’t really react to it you know he was too cool for it he’d seen it all before but then at the weighin when

Tyson tried to loom over him and Bear Down on him a little bit he wasn’t having any of that that was the first time we saw that real flame of of fire in his eyes know that edge of the real competitor because he knew at that point

This isn’t name calling now you’ve taken my physical space here and that’s different and then we really saw him that was the first time we really saw him and this week yeah they’ve not really been saying too much to each other because they don’t really know each other and I think there is

Definitely that respect there between them but I think they would have been paying attention to each other whether they admit it or not because we have this situation and we discussed it haven’t we which is unusual in that all of a sudden you’re in with somebody who

You never would have pegged as being a rival who a year ago I mean you’d have laughed if if if we suggested this was going to happen yeah well I laughed when when it was suggested for Tyson F IED it we we all did and uh and T we’ll go back

To the the the titson fury and G Fight Titan Fury is a best at boxing forl boxing forl is great is is is before you’ve even got in the ring he’s playing with you he’s getting in your head he’s making you hate him disrespect him he’s

Mak he want you to think he’s a fool he’s disarming you without you realize you’re being disarmed and so but unfortunately it was lost on translation with him it’s lost on translation with with Alexander oik so now Tyson Fury has to depend on his boxing skill skill alone with this guy here wasn’t

Intimidated and when he came to the physical huffing and puffing tyon go the uh oh and probably realized at that point whoa this guy’s not moving and you could see in the fight he thought all right that’s why I don’t think that fight will ever happen again I think

With with Anthony Joshua and gno these two respect each other because when you smell fear when you smell Hustle you call it out and I’ve seen Anthony Joshua call it out many many times you hav tried to call this man out this man hasn’t tried to call Anthony Joshua it’s

Been respect respectful you can have Fighters that that are respectful to each other it doesn’t have to be throwing tables or or or or getting each of’s face and still have a good competitive fight danaz Joshua batti they fought their Liv out when went on the holiday after the fight you know

These two guys I don’t think there’s anything personal there but right now it’s professional they’ve got to be professional and the best is going to go in there and give their best he wants to be in a position where he shocks the boxing world now I’m I’m rooting for the

Boxing World cuz I don’t want some MMA guy coming into our sport in his second fight and really turn it upside down because what does that say ala says that you know what we’ve been sleeping on this guy this guy is a new the new era

Coming through to say I can step into your sport and he’ll be a oneoff and he will be a oneoff because I can remember clitch go the clitch goals they used to stand there when you box an MMA fighter mix martial arts fighter the guards wide The Stance was Square they’re very fake

You can pick them off you can box them at a certain level but so this guy has reached now top tier level and so we’ve got to see what he’s like at top tier level and if he can get through this and now he knows what he could have done

Against Titan Fury if it happens again if he gets through this we’re looking at a problem right there we’re looking at a big problem and it’s going to take a really small move cool cookie to get rid of that guy he’s also not here to mess

Around at all I mean this is this is that kind of cool calm collected customer earlier on in the week uh we did some Social Media stuff with him tried to get him to play a game on the phone and all that he was like I’m not

Playing No Game No Nonsense he’s a man he’s a man he’s not he’s not a boy he’s a man he’s not he’s not here for this nonsense he’s like we to fight I look at his relationship with with with jewi his coach out of out of the this they work

Together he doesn’t they don’t mess about they don’t they’re not he’s he’s like he’s a man with responsibilities and you can tell he’s walking like a champion trying to talk like a champion what if To Be Be A Champion it’s because he is a champion he is the linear MMA

Heavyweight champion and he is lapping it all in lapping it all up just like he did back in October ahead of his fight with Tyson Fury this time it’s Anthony Joshua you can see trainer doy Cooper there as well hopefully we’ll grab a chat with enanu there’s always a lot of

Scrutiny after workouts particularly enanu workouts what can we learn from any of that what did you learn from any of that Andy how many he let his hands go there didn’t he and some of the body work get a little step up to the left hand side to change the angle throw the

Right hand straight down the middle it’s stuff we didn’t necessarily see back at the end of October but what we know now is that we can’t really take too much from anything you see from him outside of the Ring because when he gets in there for real he knows exactly what

He’s doing whilst he was doing that by the way I was just having a little look at ringside and I saw a few youngsters getting their their hands wrapped up so I think Anthony Joshua is probably going to go down a similar route to what we

Saw him do last time in December and and give them a little bit of a a coaching Clinic rather than do any serious work himself but he’s enjoying this andaru Fighters approach fight week in different ways as we said last time out before Christmas Joshua was was tety

During fight week J used to be wasn’t last time we saw him it just depends on their personality type as to at what point exactly they make that transition into into fight mode into into beast mode and and gno I think just enjoys this soaks it up right

Until the very last point maybe when he’s getting his hands wrapped in the dressing room or even on the ring walk he he knows how to do it he knows when he needs to do it he knows when’s too soon to do it and that’s just a sign of

Of just how experienced is basically born for the big stage had to work to get to it but he is most certainly here now this man’s life is an absolute movie as we can look at the street fighter font in the background as well his Life’s a movie his Life’s a

Computer game his life I mean he shouldn’t he he shouldn’t be where he is considering where he started it’s quite incredible Johnny some people are born that they know the path in life instantly some people fall on it or pushed on it I think this guy fell on

His path in life he know he knew he he has a fighting heart fighting Spirit uh and that that you know boxing mirrors life life mirrors boxing and uh this guy you know that’s why this all this means nothing all this is not intimidated by it because I’m quite sure he’s being in

More hairier situations uh so so for him this is this is just part of his his journey 37 years old um and you know I said ear earlier becoming a champion becoming a a Spearhead it comes with responsibilities you know most Fighters think to get to

The top that’s the hard battle it’s not the hard battle the hard battle is is actually staying at the top I remember before I became world champion I thought it was so far away and then eventually when I became world champion that’s where the real battle is because

Everything changes I asked JY Cooper uh earlier on I think for his last fight he doesn’t mind me saying it and got paid 10 million for this fight he’s getting paid 20 million I’m I’m kind of figuring that’s the biggest count of money he seen because I don’t think they pay that

Canon on M MMA I said has it changed him has it changed his hunger you know because you’ve got Hunters mentality or hunted mentality the Champions you know the good Champions keep the Haunter mentality the Champions that are Fall by the wayside they they they they have the

The the hunted mentality the ring he’s still got a hunter’s mentality his life has changed he’s not the nand Ruiz his life has changed the world has made no difference to to his his appetite we’re bringing in the Predator Francis andu just as Anthony Joshua is going to

Make his way to the ring great to see you Francis great to see you again I’d like you to have a look at the screen here I’d like you to watch Anthony Joshua and tell us what you’re seeing as he approaches the screen as what as he

Approaches the ring tell us what you’re seeing when Anthony Joshua comes on the screen what I’m seeing yeah what are you seeing getting in the ring you see what you assess of of his his performance when he’s in there it’s the open workout this is not

A performance this a little bit of issue you know but his team were ringside they’re all there Ben Davidson Lee Wy all watching you what did you make of that oh that’s your problem I don’t know I don’t think there’s nothing to see here really you know it’s just little bit F

Stu have fun you know play entertain defend the people is the most is what it is about this is not really about like to see somebody Skuse right at what at what point during fight week then do you really start to get serious and switch into into fight

Mode I don’t know it depends sometime I wake up in the morning or the fight then then I started feel that fight wi mode um you know like maybe like even last week there was a day that I I feel it a little bit I felt it then it goes away

After so it’s not something that you commend it’s just uh automatic in your body you know yeah it’s just automatic in your body are you still sparring this week no sparing finish how did sparring finish uh last Friday how many sparring partners did you have C for this Camp uh

I first he was three of them and then one of my sparing was in the training camp so uh gido he had to to go fight so I remain with two sparing Partners Orthodox Fighters uh what kind of sparing Partners did you have did you feel comfortable with the with the with

The with the the pace the the the change of opponents it’s not comfortable when you get five rounds and then somebody fresh up come up I’m going to beat beat you up take your head off it’s not comfortable but and that’s what you’re doing it you’re not doing it to be

Comfortable you’re doing it to be uh you’re trying to get as much comfortable as possible you can get comfortable in the fighting Francis let let me ask you this we spoke to Anthony Joshua yesterday he says he’s been watching your fights he’s been watching your MMA fights and also he

Watches your interviews he tries to figure out what’s going on in your mind do you do that do you watch his interviews or anything like that you say he watch my interview and what Anthony Joshua watches your interviews to gain insight into your mind do you watch his

No I focus on me I owe what I can control is me you know I can protect myself stay secure um control what I can deliver what I can do and then make sure that nothing is taking that out of me and then I’m very confident that if I go

Out there and do me it’s going to it’s going to be enough the problem is that sometime you just trying to do somebody else you just want to maybe do some stuff uh maybe to please people you know do what is not you that’s when most of

The time we get tricked and fall out of the box but when I’m confident of me my nature if I do me I’m good Anthony Joshua is in the ring right now uh just warming up doing his little workout he’s not even look once so this is this this

Is cre space that I don’t care what he does there’s nothing to wash again I was in the ring as well and I know I know that there’s nothing to wash when I’m in the ring it’s just to have fun it has nothing to do in the fight that was F

You sometime you walk sometime you walk in the gym and then you see those guy like maybe train him meet and then you feel like you will not be never be as good at them but in the real fight it’s different it’s completely different do

You do you enjoy fight week or do you get impatient waiting for the fight well I’ll say I’ll go for the second I’m more like waiting for the fight because five week is a lot of media a lot of CR a lot of same question again over and over and sometime I’m

Like knock me out listen we asked Anthony Joshua this yesterday as well you filmed a fantastic promo in that promo you had to hold your fist to his face he held his to yours what were you thinking in that moment what was that like well that we were

Doing a promo that’s what I was thinking we were doing a promo and uh he was very chill very relaxed I get to ask him if he’s okay because he feels uh he he looked he looked little nervous or something I don’t know I asked him if he

Was okay because I was okay I have no problem I was just talking around laughing you know it was a promo nothing was going to happen there so and then I think we both are professional enough to know what we have to do in order to you know to get to

What we want to go Tyson Fury will be ringside on Saturday night watching the fight Friday yeah yeah I mean he might stay there on Saturday as well but definitely Friday guys he’ll be ringside on Friday night what what do you make of that he’ll be watching you huh Tyson

Fury will be watching you on Friday night your fight with Anthony Joshua what do you think of that nothing I don’t think nothing I will just be watching him on my on May 18 too so I I’ll return I I’ll return the they leave it to him fantastic stuff

Andy anything you want to ask the big man before we let him go no I think he’s I think he’s covered it you know when you’re really experienced like he is and like the man on our screen is fight week is about it’s about fulfilling your obligations it’s about doing interviews

With us it’s about answering questions but none of this actually matters it can be fun Tyson Fury will call you a sausage during fight week and we’ll all you know kind of enjoy that because it’s it keeps us all it keeps us all amused but none of this really counts for

Anything does it no no no it’s just it’s just fun and sometime um people can let them they can uh uh load their guard by what is happening in the five week which is very tricky you have to be able to separate both five week and the fight

You know everything that you’re doing before uh and the fight that’s what make you make us professional brilliant stuff let me ask you one final one how is this compared to the Tyson Fury fight as Andy said he called P you a sausage quite a lot Anthony Joshua much more kind of

Respectful much more cool how have you found the comparison just two different personality I think uh at the end of the day they are both great fighter they are both uh good people uh great people great uh oppent at the end of the day we

Go in and put on the show is what matter at the end because what we do here I know when Tyson I know Tyson shury is a uh Entertainer you know he like like to bring a he like to always bring a little bit of exra like do something funny I

Know he’s his personality he can’t change that he’s just way he is you know you do you deal when you have to deal with that kind of person you deal with him when you have to deal with somebody that is come as anony Joshua you deal with him no problem with that finally

It’s knockout chaos are you looking to cause some chaos in the boxing World on Friday I hope so thank you very much Francis andu thank you what a man mounting what a specimen and what a man looking to cause some Chaos on Friday night and this time I said Friday not Saturday

Andy I mean it’s it’s always interesting talking to people like him two during five wewe chion of the world when you’re experienced of that it is exactly what he’s just been saying there and you can see on his face when he’s answering the questions that he almost wishes he could

Give us some more interesting answer but at that at this point it is just about getting through day by day ticking the days off until you get in there on the night and really all of this talking all of this buildup as enjoyable as it is for these Elite

Level performers they know that it doesn’t really matter if you’re against somebody inexperienced then you can maybe get into their head I mean it was quite interesting hearing him talk about the promo and just say well you know I just asked him if he was okay it was

Fine ask him if he was okay we see looked to me like he was a little bit nervous that almost for me is him trying to score a little bit of a point or make a little bit of a point there to us that in any setting he is completely relaxed

Whereas his opponent was slightly on edge now he won’t expect Anthony Joshua to to hear that or care but at the same time you can see that although he says none of this counts for anything you’re looking though you’re still looking to see if there’s something that you might

Be able to GLE some Edge you might be able to take from it but ultimately they all know that you’ve just got to wait for the bter absolutely that and the buildup has been fantastic for this we’ve just got Anthony Joshua who just completed his workout you can see on his

On the screen now speaking to some of the media and yeah it was as expected really he did one of those workouts where got the kids up had a bit of fun show you know sort of showing the Next Generation you can be boxers too it’s a good thing

To do yeah absolutely it is when you’ve got the kind of platform that he’s got and the kind of profile that he’s got it just means an awful lot to to to Young fighters to just young people they might not even really intend to go on and be

Boxes of any description but to give them your time to give them your energy to give them your kindness you know they’ll remember that for the rest of their lives and and he’ll remember being a youngster when he first came into boxing and he says that he looks up to

The likes of Derek chorao and other Fighters and his cousin even Ben I thought you know this is what I want to do I want to be like you I want to you know I’m sure he would have looked at Johnny and just thought you know look at

This guy look at what he’s achieving looked into your story and just thought you know he he came from a standing start you know he came from you know unpromising kind of Beginnings as a fighter but look what he went on to do it’s it’s very inspiring stuff boxing it

Always has been and I love seeing that I love seeing somebody not waste that opportunity because okay he doesn’t want to get in there and do any work himself but he’s thinking okay but what else can I do with this ring with this space with this

Time but give it to somebody else it’s great
