    How did you manage to play the Race Card from what I said?

    Because I said Gypsy ancestral roots are in India, which is fact? It may have been many years ago but their culture/language etc is still rooted there. Nothing wrong with having Indian roots or do you have a problem with that?

    And Fury is the Gypsy King, not Irish traveller king.

    You appear to know little of the UK "traveller" aka gypsy culture. There is more than one group.

    Romani gypsy roots are in India true, though long, long ago. This is the "sect" that BJS claims to belong to although one look at him dispels this.

    Fury is an Irish tinker aka a Pikey. They are two seperate "gypsy" ethnic groups. Pikey's hail from a town in Limerick, Ireland. In fact once a year large groups from the UK mainland go back there.

    Check your facts before you attempt to give me an anthropology lesson please.

    And as regards to not endorsing being from India, that tells me all I need to know about you. BJS and Fury are patently not in any way shape or form Indian, and the fact that you are hanging your hat on them being anything other than ethnically White British confirms my original suspicion of you.

    Would be surprised if Joshua fans travel. Between 5 and 10 thousands my best guess. Not sure he has that many genuine fans tbh. Fanbase pretty much made up of casuals....no one outside of London or the young generation gets him. With his wisdom
    ...I want to be a billionaire chat. Very popular guy....rightfully so. But few get him. Difference is everyone got hatton. Because most of us came from the same place. Or at least understood what he was about. The young team moved the goalposts in Britain...its all about succeding in life nowadays. Not unlike the mentality of america. Problem is only a small percentage over here get that. The older generation meaning 30 and over don't quite get it...or not enough to travel in numbers anyway.

    Ermmm, so still why did you pull the race card?
    All I said was Gypsies originate from India, which you agree is fact, so you call it racism?


    You agree with my statement, Gypsies originate from India, hence they speak and have a similar culture to Indians, not English people.
    Learn to read, you agree with my facts that Gypsies originate from India. I seem to have hit a nerve with you by saying that.

    Irish travellers are completely different to Gypsies and are classed Irish travellers, not Gypsies. Nobody here spoke about Irish travellers. Gypsies are known for travelling and some came to England via Ireland as well as other places.

    My business partner of 40 years is a proud Gypsy (his brother is head of the Gypsy council), my neighbour on either side of me are Gypsy and so is the family who live 3 doors down. Like any proud Gypsy, they will never claim to be White British as that is not them. They are not Anglo-Saxons, have suffered oppression from White British people, and do not tick the White British box when they are asked about their ethnic origin, case closed!

    Proud Gypsies are happy to shout from the roof-tops they are Gypsy, not White-British. A Gypsy would be highly offended to be called White-British.

    Sorry but Gypsies are in no way White British, just like Polish people aren't ethnically White British. Why do you have such a problem with it and why do you play the race card?


    I don't give a **** about your suspicion of me. I can tell by your tone what you're about too.

    Gypsies originate from India!
    (that fact seems to have got you mad) hahaha.

    GypsyKING!!!

    And Ireland is not Britain.
    Try calling a proud Irishman British and you will probably get slapped, they don't want to be British

    Extremely dumb, unknowledgeable people should not post on forums.

    10k went to watch Joshua against what was supposed to be Miller in New York. I reckon Wilder in Vegas around 2018/19 could have seen 20,000+ go over easily.

    A shame he never actually did it. Joshua’s solitary win in enemy territory in his entire career is Jake Paul.

    Agree. Might have been swept along with it myself at that time!

    Funny seeing this post back up here

    I posted it obviously years ago on my old account that I got banned off for trying to sell some signed gloves for charity.
