    I can understand his Dad being proud and he should be. His son has come a long way from Court to being courted by promoters and media. However it is still very odd that his first public utterances should be about steroids and not about how proud he was that his son was champ etc. etc. etc.

    I think that Joshua's training system will shorten his career, weight training is detrimental to fighters!

    The thing that made me suss was his reaction when Whyte challenged him on steroids at the presser. Wrong sort of reaction if you're clean imo.

    Juice up or not if Joshua gets hit on the chin hard enough, he will get knocked out!

    I know what ur saying but it doesnt always work like that. any psychologist will tell u that you shouldnt draw inference from one instance of body language

    Wasn't really body language although that wasn't great. He clearly wanted to not discuss it what-so-ever.

    If someone at work accused me of being under the influence of anything, especially in public, I'd be demanding a test.

    I'm not biased for or against Joshua at all.

    It was the same response when his dad brought it up...look at AJs face. Matchroom actually got a sack barrow and wheeled his dad away. Watch it back.

    thats a very stupid comment. Why would any top athlete take anything then and 'risk' what they have... but we all know they do.

    So true. In comparison to bodybuilders he doesn't look juiced at all

    And even they aren't all at it either
