Steve Bunce

Rather than, I need my time.

Rather than, I need to grieve.

I need to recover.

He actually, like you said, he went on the front foot and he said, I want to set this up.

I want to do this.

We need to do this.

We've got to do this.

But he did that in conjunction with his rehab and his boxing life.

I went out to see him

in dubai after the accident maybe four or five six weeks after he was on the bike every day you know he was training on stuff that he could train with yeah mobility reactions like little really menial boring stuff and he never took his eye off the ball once whilst also dealing with the grief whilst also dealing with the families like it you know he really stepped up to the plate

And this AJ, I know you had some time with him in Cairo.

You did some filming with him.

This AJ seems about as focused as any AJ I've seen.

I spoke to him briefly on the plane.

I spoke to him briefly here today.

It just seems, it seems, it's hard to use the word.

He seems unbelievably relaxed.

I said, I get a bit of stick because I've never seen him like this before.

I've never really seen him.

so happy confident and I've never heard him talk about the future in his boxing life because he normally says I've got July 25th but now he's saying I've got July 25th then I've got Fury then I want to be world champion again and I want to try and be undisputed this is like we were saying 2026 was going to be his last year in the sport he's talking about another two or three years now listen
