    Racism controversies
    Joshua was previously criticised for a set of incidents in November 2017. He called heavyweight boxer [url]Eddie Chambers[/url] a "disgrace to the superior black race" on Instagram. Joshua's promoter [url]Eddie Hearn[/url] said the message came from a fake account, but the false claim was debunked when Chambers proved that it had indeed been sent from Joshua's verified account.[url][224][/url][url][225][/url][url][226][/url]

    Joshua later appeared to voice support for Zimbabwean dictator [url]Robert Mugabe[/url] on Snapchat.[url][227][/url][url][228][/url][url][229][/url] Hearn subsequently stated Joshua has "got a major problem with his social media accounts" and suggested the accounts may have been hacked.[url][229][/url]

    In June 2020, Joshua was accused of racism for his speech at a Black Lives Matter protest in Watford, where he said "show them where it hurts, abstain from spending your money in their shops and economies, and invest in black-owned businesses." This was interpreted by some as a call to boycott white businesses.[url][230][/url][url][231][/url] In response, he said the speech was not his own and that he had only read it out on behalf of a friend. He also said, "If you think I'm a racist, go **** yourself.

    OFC its all true AJ is a racist POS the same as Fury is a Homophobic as they come.
    But lets be honest if you actually give a **** about someone else's opinion you a snowflake and are looking to be offended and need to get a life.

    For once I want someone to say they're going to be aggressive and actually follow through on that in the ring.

    Ben Whittaker struggled against 6-0 Peter Nosic. Nosic was a good amateur to be fair so a good step up for Whittaker; they even fought as amateurs against each other in 2015. I'd like to see Whittaker throw more shots rather than just the one-two.

    60-54, 59-55 * 2 for Whittaker.

    Mate with a smartphone there’s no excuse really. Surely there’s a few lads at the wedding also wanting to see it. Nothing wrong with taking some timeout and sitting down and watching the fight on your phone.
