His down to earth caracter is getting to me. He's not the typical British shittalker type Heavyweight we've seen since the great LL hang 'm up, but someone that understands and dares to admit he has a long way to go. Maybe he's a bit too humble, but I like it. I have to admit I wanted to see him fail after he blatantly got gifted the gold in his hometown Olympics, but unless he's going to totally change face in the near future he gets my support! Long live the new British Heavyweight beltholder of the world! And good luck against Bakhtov this weekend.
i must admit i liked him more when i found out he was a rough lad...for some reason i thought he was a bit of a silver spoon kid
He knows he has a lot to learn and seems very open to take on advice. He will find his level as I believe open season will be the world heavyweight scene post Klitschko. The stern tests will come in time and Bakhtov is a good step up fight.HW fighters often to me not about what they can do offensively but how their chin and defense stand up.Good luck to him.
I feel the total opposite with all these iflim interviews Joshua starting to bore the crap out of me he says the same old thing in every interview...this boy next door image is all fake but he's playing a blinder with it ,same **** with Luke Campbell another boring twat..no personalities..
i have known him since he was amateur, we trained at the same gym. He had always been like that, always laughing and smiling, that's just how he is, he was a star at the gym and always down to earth. Just to let u know, he is not 'faking' it.
the butter wouldn't melt facade. I think Joshua is legit but that Campbell kid looks like he is having to fight back the urge to show his true feelings
I just cant bring myself to like these nice guy personalities in boxing They really do bore me (PRICE especially).... boxers only fight for 12 rounds max every 6months or so they really do need to entertain outside the ring. But the casual fans really do seem to lap it up. I've always been drawn to the characters such as Froch (pre fame), Fury, Degale and Haye (pre fame)... not a big fan of haye these days... but I really did like him in his cruiserweight days
Big josh is a hit already. Olympic fame, nice guy, massive potential and the ladies love him (well my mrs anyway). Fast car is playing a blinder with him. If his talent holds up we will have a new boxing icon a la Lewis et al
I can see him turning heel when he wins the important fights. He is a scally, simple. That'll show as he wins bigger fights.
