AJ is of Nigerian descent, he has a map of Africa tattooed on him and if you look at AJ's team all the black guys are of African descent judging by their surnames. There has always been a divide between Africans and people from the Caribbean and this is what I think is meant by "superior black race", i.e. Africans are superior to other black people.

And if you look at Tysons team, they are all races and cultures, including Chambers!

See how b/c it's Joshua it's not a black or white thing or not this or not that

If Tyson had said that no one would go into detail as to why or what his reason was for saying it is the point

Joshua has come out with this sh*t and people are starting to give out history lessons as to why he said it

You are all kidding yourselves if you think fury would get away with the same, in whatever way he said or meant it

Classic example of the fury club. This post mentions nothing of fury, but here you go

Judge the situation for what it is

They do with fury believe me. The fury fans when he said stuff about homo’s went on about Christian beliefs etc

Joshua has dm’d chambers with a racial remark and Joshua fans say there bit

The only hypocritical thing is the fans of either, and you’re clearly in camp fury, trying give the other side a hard time

The only thing I’ll say in Joshua’s favour is his repuatation and conduct buys him some time before the daggers come out

Is Tyson not allowed to have Christian beliefs? Believe me, Nigerians do.

The only thing I’ve seen about it is in the Star and they word it in a way where they take a pop at Fury for pulling Joshua up on his racist remark! Couldn’t make it up.

Bottom line is, if Fury said ‘superior white race’ he’d be destroyed ( again )

I like both fighters but absolutely want Fury back to beat him just to see the reaction in the media.

Even Eddie Hearn has alluded to their being more to Joshua than is generally seen hin his very PR based interviews. Over the last few months I think Joshua has actually been encouraged to let loose a little bit, to show a bit more of himself....

At the end of the day AJ is a guy that clearly 'enjoys' hurting and brutally knocking people out. He's obviously got a nasty, arrogant side, we've seen glimpses of it in his interviews with Kugan when a question hasn't sat right with him. His halo has certainly slipped....but in truth it was never there to begin with! Get on the wrong side of Joshua and he'd be eager to smash your face in at the drop of a hat make no mistake.

Is Joshua a proper hard core racist at heart? Probably not, in fact I very much doubt it....it was more just a crass way of trying to insult a fellow black man with an ugly racial remark. But it certainly shows an uglier side to his character and to his mindset. And its true if Tyson Fury....or for that matter any other white fighter had come out with something like that, then they'd be absolutely lambasted for it.

Lol at the fury fans piling into the thread. Not everything is about fury
