Joshua - ‘superior black race’

[Nightmare Roy]

Where is Ricky when you need him!!!!

[boxingknockout]

Sorry which is Josh’s actual account: anthony_joshua Or is it anthonyfjoshua ?

[peter barlow]

He's been on gear his entire career, got a gift in the Olympics

Tyson Fury got expelled from the sport for less. One rule for one, and not the other

I'm of the opinion that he surely can't be that fornicating stupid?! If so, it's a massive WWE heel turn. People have complained that he's boring so, what's there to complain about now?

Nah but, while I'm not too offended because I'm not oppressed, it's not nice to be considered inferior to a fella because of skin colour.
But I can't believe he wrote it, it's crazy! He's literally on top of the boxing world. Surely though he'd have distanced himself by now if he had been hacked?

hE'S , HUMBLE ,, hE'S A WORLD CHAMP , hE'S AN OLYMPIAN GOLD MEDALIST , He's also trained by a white man , promoted by a white man , would'nt mind saying most of his coperate sponsors are white men .

But he's not stupid , Even if he believed it , he would'nt say it , Joshua knows how to play the game .

[jamamb]

if it was him im guessing he did some drunk texting. maybe thought it would stay in private with him and chambers. or maybe he didnt think at all

Oh thanks mate..... a bit of a shocker all this?! Has Joshua been ‘hanging out with Kalle Sauerland’ recently?!?

If you're "playing a game" you can make a mistake, especially if your emotions get away from you. Your post essentially insinuates that AJ *is* a bigot, who simply doesn't show it because he wants to be popular. If that is indeed the case then it's not at all unlikely that he could make a somewhat benign comment to a fellow black athlete over a private message argument.

He's clearly proud of roots, which in and of itself is enough to be branded as a racist if you're the correct color to be branded a racist these days.

Gillian why he got spanked, so did wlad. Fury right now is s fat joke who hadnt fought in ages. Let's see if he can get his fat arse in shape first.

Few things

-Big Josh is no racist he's one million per cent one of life's good guys

- Folk trying to throw s**t his way either have an agenda (Chambers is now a punchbag for the Fury's) or are just bang average souls who can't handle having a world class U.K. Sportsman with no ego in their midst

- Until someone keeps AJ down for 10 seconds of say he's superior.

Keep your chin up Roadman I hope you keep the titles fir 20 years #OurChamp

So you're saying that the people coming down on someone for saying a certain race is superior to others are the ones in the wrong?

That's a pretty interesting perspective...

[TheGoods]

Thanks. I'm also saying you couldn't put a tab End out so don't be so quick to dismiss the best heavyweight in the world.

I'm telling you now Joshua is the real McCoy both as a person and as a fighter. And that's it. Nice

[punchoutsb]

You don't know the first thing about me, but you are clearly blinded by hero worship. If you REALLY do not have a problem with someone saying one race is superior to others than that's on you, but hope you hold all racial supremacists in such high regard and not just AJ. That would be pretty pathetic.

Apparently he’s been grassed up by Eddie Chambers. Had a slanging match on Twitter, Joshua tells Chambers he’s a disgrace to the superior black race. Very WWE I know, but let’s for one minute imagine Tyson Fury had said something similar

mate think it would be much bigger news if fury said 'superior white race'

True. If a white guy said something like that he'd be ran out the sport. Hopkins got away with it in the Calzaghe build up as well. If Calzaghe said what Bernard said he'd have been sin died!

This in spades. The double standard we apply is racism in itself - why is society much more lenient when minorities express racist views?

AJ has a majir sponsorship with Lynx ( his mug was smiling at me over the Lynx logo at an ATM cash machine yesterday). Will that deal get pulled? I doubt it. Meanwhile Fury was treated like a leper for expressing conservative-Christian opinions on homosexuality and met with a campaign to have him thrown out of the BBC personality awards.

As for Joshua's comment "the superior black race" is pretty out there. In what context does he think other skin colours are inferior?? If his comment was limited by context to only sprinting, or long-distance running.... I'd probably agree with him. But it seems he think blacks are superior to all other races, full stop. No defending it really.

Ricky good post!

[Taansend]

I don't know the context of the comment etc but I'll be having a word with the lad next time I see him

Race baiting is for weak stupid people like trump and Hopkins.

Ricky good post!

How are you doing bud? Keeping better health i hope

[coneye]

The guy is an olympic gold medalist . world profesional undeafeted champion ,, multi multi millionaire , sells out Wembley no matter who he fights , would sell the biggest porn film of all time , if he was to shaft Khans missis on dvd , Built like a greek god , still in his 20's , personaly i think he's got something to feel superior about , and including other black men in the statement is just his way of being humble , he does'nt really mean black is superior , he means AJ is superior ,, just to humble to say it

Blacks have only had about 50 years of being able to use the same bathroom as a white person or even go into a "white" cafe,im sure whites have said worse to a black man's face in the previous 500+ years and blacks just had to get on with it. I think us whites need to adopt abit more thicker skin than some of us have now.

What the hell are you talking about that's never happened in England where Joshua is from .

Are you blind? Do you know your history of what WHITES done to blacks? Watch 12 years a slave,have a look at whats going on in america this shit still exists(not slavery but racism). Doesnt matter whether it happened were joahua is from because he gets told stories about what happened in the past plus he sees whats going on around him as he has grown up. Racism exists in britain and if you dont think it does then you are an ostrich
