People Split Over Video Of Anthony Joshua Threatening To Crack Students' Jaws

A video of Anthony Joshua threatening to crack students' jaws has gone viral – but people are reacting to it very differently. Check it out here:

The boxer reportedly decided to take it upon himself to teach the Loughborough University students a lesson after they goaded him, reportedly using abusive language and claiming he was afraid to fight Tyson Fury.

After pressing the buzzer to the flat and being let up, Joshua addressed the heckling students in their accommodation.

In the video, the 32-year-old can be heard saying: "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."

Naturally, the video has been circling far and wide on social media – because it's not every day you see one of the biggest boxers in the country threatening to batter a bunch of students.

Indeed, a lot of people think AJ let himself down by rising to the ribbing.

Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: "Anthony Joshua seriously stomped up to a student accommodation flat to confront students who heckled him about apparently being too scared to fight Tyson Fury. 

"Is it just me, or is Joshua completely losing it?!"

Another added: "Anthony Joshua telling skinny uni students they've got glass jaws. Heads completely gone."

A third added: "Hardly appropriate given how many young people look up to him and his celebrity status.

"Anthony Joshua = A bad example of a positive influence to young people."

However, others – such as talkSPORT presenter Simon Jordan – thought he was well within his rights to put them in their place.

"I think he's absolutely right," he said.

"I think that there's kids in this society who think they can say things on social media, run around doing precisely what they want and they can replicate it in society.

"Anthony Joshua gave them a life lesson. He told these kids you can't say what you want to say to people. You can't just say these things and not be accountable for it. Whatever I think of Anthony Joshua as a legitimate heavyweight champion of the world, he's entitled to respect.

"Can you imagine these little snot-gobbling kids taunting you out the window and the former heavyweight champion of the world stands in front of you and says, hold on a second you, you're going to say this to the wrong person one day and that person is going to show you what a glass jaw looks like."

There were plenty who agreed with Jordan's assessment on social media too.

One person wrote: "Anthony Joshua kept it real with them and was right with what he said! If anything, this will benefit the students in the long run on how to treat people!"

Another said: "People who think Anthony Joshua is in the wrong are f***ing wet wipes."
