The video showed Joshua standing in front of students at Loughborough University and giving them a reality check. Giving them a lesson, ‘AJ’ said, “Remember you’re running your mouth because when I bring people up here and I start cracking your glass jaws, none of you will like it. When your jaw starts breaking, people start chasing you out of this uni. None of you will like it. Watch your mouths because you don’t know who you’re talking to sometimes.”

The boxer also added he’s not into all the “Public eye bulls**t”.
