I feel that Lewis has an agenda, because he might be biased due to working as a commentator for the PBC. I also suspect that part of the reason is because Lennox is probably fed a lot of confidential information from boxing insiders that he can’t share with the general public.candyslim wrote: ↑28 Feb 2019, 04:32Well something is eating him and it seems personal to me.Eolaithe wrote: ↑27 Feb 2019, 13:06No, because someone not perceived as being British is never going to be as popular on UK soil as another successful individual that is actually British. Lewis has had thirty years to cope with this simple fact.
Lewis competed for Canada as an amateur. For most of his adult life he's lived in the US and Jamaica. Nearly all of his fights for the final dozen years or so of his career were competed outside the UK. Lennox doesn't even have a British accent. I'm actually surprised that he considers himself as being a Brit. He won't be jealous of AJ's popularity.
I'll never forget first hearing of him as a very young and promising amateur. No internet back then and info was scarce. I knew not whether he was tall or short, black or white, boxer or puncher. The only thing i knew for sure was that he was Canadian![]()
This means that it is possible that Lewis might have legitimate reasons for his negativity that we aren’t aware of.
Matchroom, Sky and AJ have worked hard to market the Joshua brand to the mainstream masses and there are inevitably certain aspects about Anthony that are never made public, such as his behind-the-scenes activities and persona. Fight fans don’t know everything about the man, but boxing insiders probably know much more.
