his autobiography is worth a read, very self deprecating. His father was very famous, interesting upbringing Louis had.

Paul Theroux is my favourite author. A really interesting & intelligent man. He brought back modern day travel writing.

Happy Isles of Oceania is my personal favourite book of his.

Paul Theroux is a beautiful writer. I love The Kingdom by the Sea and The Great Railway Bazaar. His essays are really wonderful, too.

Have you read Living in 'Sir.Vidia's Shadow', where he tears into V.S.Naipaul? It's an epic takedown.

He also spoke well about helping people financially as in not minding people needing help.

Totally agree
I’m not a fan of his, boxing wise.
But
He’s a human like us all. He’s got his foibles but I don’t see any lying in him.
He is good enough to beat most atm

Yeah I agree with you watched it with the Mrs last night, though Louis was a bit of a prick at times but AJ kept his cool with him.

The least he could have done with Joshua is broach the BLM speech he made to at least to gauge a reaction. That would have been a lot less toxic than the questions he posed to Saville.

agreed, bore off with morons trying to stir up an angle re AJ being a racist, this angle is for me the determinant of whether someone is a wanker

Basically, the press have buried it, and that's saved him, because they could ruin you. As I mentioned about Fury, if he'd made comparable comments he'd be finished and Fury knows it. Joshua has had a bit of good fortune, a bit like his boxing career. It must be remembered that speech was made during a highented part of UK's history and he should have known better. Parts of it were definitely Inflammatory. I agree Theroux should have addressed it, and it's not Joshua's fault he didn't. I think we may have seen a different side to the interview if he did, and that is balance. That speech was not minor, it happened and it was said. I would say to Joshua don't take my hard earned money paying for tickets and PPV's and insult people. That's a fair analogy.
