    What does Lennox do these days, apart from trolling Joshua on a regular basis? 52 years old, old enough to be AJ's Dad and he's acting like a kid.

    I read a thing which suggested there was some jealousy about the money AJ earns, but if net worth lists are anything to go on, he's got way more in the bank than AJ. He's up at no.8 in the boxing list, with $140 million. Why's he getting into Twitter spats with young 'uns?

    To their credit though, they do re-attach some of the heads so they can hang them by the neck and leave them swinging in the breeze as a warning to others.

    Hopefully nobody gets caught with booze as the standard punishment is 500 lashes (no joke).

    The real Joshua coming out now, the real roadman drug dealer, is this going to continue or will Matchroom quickly sweep it under the carpet

    That's positive. Do you know what; Eddie will probably smooth this over with a few million. I hope so. I'm sure even Hearn might realise Andy deserves a few more quid.

    Oh I remember people at the time asking why he doesn’t talk about the actual fight and opponent he was supposed to be promoting. It was like 60 percent Wilder, 30 percent Fury and 10 percent Ruiz.

    Didn’t earn or deserve....my p**s is boiling after reading that. He’d had 33 pro fights at that point and a razor thin defeat against Parker. Joshua hardly ‘earned’ his opportunity against Martin either, who in turn had done nowt to ‘earn’ his opportunity against Glazkov for a vacant belt.

    Honestly, who are these people like Sam Jones and the like.

    Ruiz didnt earn or deserve the unified heavyweight title shot technically speaking - based on rankings, fighting eliminators etc.

    Wasn't Joshua mandatory/no.1 for the IBF when he fought Martin??

    Sam Jones is just desperate to be accepted by people within the industry I think so tries to say all the right things and tries to 'break' exclusives

    Previously I commented about this fella and gave him benefit of the doubt. I retract that comment.

    Spot on. People would be calling AJ fake if he came out with “well Lennox is entitled to his opinion , I’m just gonna do my thing and stay humble as the most humble man ever blah blah”, this is much better I think.

    No mate, Martin picked him apparently or sold his belt to the highest bidder others might say.
