Parker is calling Joshua “the king of steroids” and went on to suggest Klitschko may have used them and Joshua was in that camp.

Parker would know since he also trained with Klitschko.

I always wondered how Klitchko got so muscular at 41 without any “help” and Joshua is unnatural so I believe he’s cheating but has found a way to beat the test like Mike Tyson admitted to.

Would certainly answer a lot of past questions . would'nt it , the questions that don't seem to get asked anymore , bulking up gassing out , could be answerd differently depending on who you speak to , excess weights , roid use ,, end result is the same , bigger , bulkier , slower, and stamina issues

People are desperate to see weaknesses in Joshua but they're not really that obvious. His gassing is so overstated.

So I guess Joe Frazier took steroids and was so gassed versus Foreman that he just stood there taking punches getting knocked down 6 times and getting slaughtered in 2 rounds.... All those roids wrecked him - not Foreman.

Ali was so roided v Frazier when he was 29 that he gassed out and layed on the ropes taking punishment for long periods of time... He was one groggy MFer and got decked for the 3rd time in his career poor guy... Too many roids.

Foreman was the roid champ.... Look at all those muscles.... He got gassed and couldn't move.... He fell down and took the count poor boy.... Then feather punching Jimmy Young decked the roid master... Musta been roids.

The trouble is Steroids were legal back in the 60's and 70's... Today they test for them and you're banned if you take them---and many have been banned so Joshua and Parker are cleaner than the Board of Health.

NEWS FLASH!!! .... If you do scientific strength training you get bigger, faster, and stronger... There is nothing unusual about athletes who are Anthony Joshua's size, strength, and muscularity... They work at it.

When Parker was asked point black whether he's accusing Joshua of being a PED cheat he quickly walked his comments back... "I'm not accusing him.... I'm saying there's a possibility heh heh.".... Now he's being mealy mouthed about it.

If anybody accused me of being a PED cheat I'd want to knock his fukking block off and feed his carcass to the buzzards... I'm sure Joshua is angry as hell and just want to beat the living shitt out of the phony Zealander.

An old man who Fury absolutely schooled chinned him then let him off! He was done.

though buster had a lot more boxing skill than most guys today and would easily be around top 10, even when not on his tyson peak form. the division sucks outside a few names.

I do agree but Lennox would be absolute undisputed if he was here today. Strong as an ox, could punch like a mule, 5ft 5, manhandled bigger guys. He'd do a Grant to both AJ and Wilder IMO

I dont remember fury landing much. One of the worst title fights in the history of the division and as someone who was watching in a bar, I can tell you it turned many a casual off boxing. I was one of the few still watching after a couple of rounds. A performance that would have made Junior Witter proud.

Listen to Jake Woods podcast. I also know there was maybe 5,000 of us out there, another 5,000 who'd not gone because of the date change. Wouldn't that fill most arenas, for a man who can't sell tickets?

Higgins is a great addition to this fight, brilliant entertainment compared to the usual AJ press conferences. Higgins vs Hearn would be PPV.

Very very naive. You can tell youve never been around these boxing gyms. Its amazing the lack of common sense people have on this issue

Most of those 80,000 were in the bar though to be fair, they weren't really interested in making it into the stadium.

They still paid their money and the vast majority came out for the main event. Unfortunately, as we all know, it’s always an issue at big fights - people just come to see the one fight.

The UFC is the complete opposite. Every show I’ve been to has been full from the first fight to the last.

Want to get their monies worth after shelling out £4 at Sports Direct for a Tap Out T shirt

He’s got one decent name on his record, Klitschko. That may well be one name more than any of his competitors have on their records but it doesn’t elevate him to anywhere near the levels of the great champions he namechecks particularly as he beat a shopworn way past his best Wlad.

His comments about no mere man being able to prevent him reaching his destiny, whatever that might be, suggest he’s totally and uterly deluded. I predict a rude awakening for AJ this year.
