    You see this a lot in Britain where today's sports stars just lose it when someone criticises them on commentary.
    Happens in Cricket all the time.It's been said about Joshua before that he was a bit fake as he'd been marketed as the super nice guy.Maybe he's had enough of the media trained answers and add to that his loss,his head has fallen off lol.
    Big fan of Lennox as a fighter but he ain't the best commentator imo.

    Oh so that's the excuse for that too is it?

    Face facts there is a double standard on Fury and Joshua and we all know the real reason for it.

    The difference is that Fury spoke all kinds of truths and was punished by the system and by networks and potential sponsors. Joshua gets the sponsorship due to political values but also by being a fake nice guy, so if he stops doing that, he will pay a price. This is why he'll likely be corrected by handlers if he goes off script and risks 'the brand'. Already it is damaged. That's why it's strange when people say they want Joshua to 'be himself'. There are very specific reasons why he hasn't truly done that yet. But if he takes another loss he might go full Broner, who knows, and wouldn't that be funny.

    Yeah, that was cringy. I do think Lennox is a little too high on himself though.

    Lennox was always the sensitive type. Very defensive when giving interviews and almost childish at times. Look at his post Vitali fight ringside interview.

    Lewis is full of himself and always was like that. He can't stand the attention aj and fury are getting, that's why he talks so much **** all the time about them.
    Just check out his Facebook posts and compare it to wlad.
    Wlad talks about business and helping others only and Lennox talks only about himself, this day I beat this guy, that day I beat the other guy, I build a Lennox gym, I am the best fighter ever and bla bla bla

    He only has himself to blame. If he stayed in Canada he could have been a national hero there. The Brits never accepted him and to be fair he deserved that. He only fought under the British flag to raise his profile and earn the maximum amount of money possible.

    If Canada had a population of 50 million there's no way he would have come back to Britain.

    Did Fury say that before or after he put on a Batman costume at the press conference?

    Its more lennox personality he was always like that when an active figher and post his career. There is reason why he was not so popular around the world and in uk.
