    They're both obvious PED abusers. I usually find myself targeting AJ because I think his case is more (laughably) obvious (and I'm sick of AJ fanboys), but Wlad is definitely just as egregious.

    Yes they do, and Joshua's next fight will be PPV in the USA, then even people like yourself won't be able to pretend nobody know him in the USA.

    PS Joshua is very popular in Europe, Nigeria and other countries.

    No he isnt. The most popular athletes in Nigeria are soccer players. The most popular athletes in The United States belong in the NBA, NFL, NHL, Baseball etc. More people know who Landon Donavan is than they do Joshua.

    He is popular in the UK though, good for him.

    Average sport fan in Australia wouldn't have a clue who Anthony is. That is regardless how close a tie between Aus-England. The OP is exaggerating at this stage, who knows in a few years time if he keep winning.

    The fact of the matter is he is well known in Europe(bigger than USA, and Nigeria. He is known in the USA, and is the most well known active heavyweight in the USA.

    I doubt he becomes a Muslim. He's not fake. If he wants to be a Muslim, he would need to quit boxing because it's haram. He can train, but he can't compete. Otherwise he would be a fake Muslim like Hopkins, Ali, Khan etc.

    Anthony Small, a retired boxer, gave boxing up because he became a Muslim.

    Ward's in your face Christianity does bother me somewhat. I'm not a big fan of organised religion TBH so anyone pushing their beliefs on a sporting forum can do one IMO.

    Who was the wife beater our learned or not so learned friend was talking about AJ cozying up to?

    He's pretty famous in Europe and even Dubai. Lots of posters of him in Dubai, he's being mentioned in rap songs in Germany.

    And he's not just some nobody, very renowed rapper all over Europe, even known in the USA.
