    I wonder how many of this strange and bitter hate mob were singing God Save the Queen when Joshua won the Olympic Gold in London.

    So a British guy with Nigerian heritage likes Nigerian food? Is that the problem here? :lol:

    It's weird how that is such a big problem and somehow a sign of disloyalty or something like that yet none of these same guy's, "patriots" or whatever they call themselves, complain about say an Irish pub in America or an Italian restaurant in the UK.

    Racism, bigotry and most notable of all, sheer bitter jealousy.

    What's the issue here? Joshua has never tried to hide his Nigerian roots or pride in his heritage. Is this a joke I'm missing?

    Well I like a lot of food that isn't originally native to these shores as do I imagine most British people. Would this have been as big a deal if Joshua had recommended his local Chinese or Indian restaurant or is it purely because it was a Nigerian one?

    What do you want instead him eating a local cafe saying how much he enjoys an English fry up.

    Since when has enjoying Nigerian food been a crime?

    I think people are reading too much into the OP.
    Personally, I have no clue what the OP was getting at.

    I follow Anthony Joshua social media accounts. He is always shouting out different businesses.

    Barbershop
    Cornershop
    Motorbike club/services etc.
    Various boxing clubs

    I think think cornershop was white English owned, once he shouted out a Greek guy with an independent business. I could go on but I need to sleep.

    AJ is quite fair across the board. Good guy with a big heart.

    Have you ever tried Nigerian food? It's delicious & highly recommended by me.
