    Eastman was a trainers worst nightmare. Nobody could unlock thee eccentrics obvious talent imo, McCracken got the best out of him possible

    McCracken has the pick of the best coaches in UK who basically train all the boxers on the GB squad and they have a massive managerial team backing them at all times. He relies heavily on his support teams to run the squad so he can train Joshua at Sheffield. Do not know if it’s still the case but squad members had to move out of there accommodation so Joshua had free digs

    It’s because he walked in on eddie hearn getting bummed.

    Eddie then offered him all kinds of work and the agreement is still in place today.

    Apparently the guy rogering hearn looked like jesus and as he was walloping him he was shouting “let jesus f*ck you” in the style of the excorcist.

    That's right it's actually scandalous that mckraken fighters get to train exclusively in the new Olympic / GB boxing state of the art performance centre. Recently they let matchroom fighters train their too. This centre was paid by the tax payers for GB boxers but somehow professionals from mckraken fighters and matchroom fighters can use it but all other fighters (FW etc are banned as they said they "Not Olympic GB squad fighters") hmm... Why doesn't ifl ask Eddie this question and more to the point the sports minister.

    Funniest thing ive red for a while..Froch was poor and Joshua is overrated and too stiff lmao. You are the definition of a hater my friend.

    McCraken is a great fighter. Liked him when he took on Eastman (an all time goat for me) and he is doing an amazing job with Joshua. He is improving in every fight and you have to give Rob some credit for that.
