The addiction that could've hurt Joshua's career

This is the headline I have just seen on a news site.
When I opened up the story it explains that Anthony Joshua was addicted to playing Fifa 16 on his Playstation and said "I used to play Fifa until it affected my boxing. I had to stop playing [Fifa 16] because it affected my sleep and recovery".
So there you go folks - he is not a big, scary, powerful black man who is a convicted drug dealer and now earns his money by punching people - he is just a humble lad next door who sits at home playing games on his Playstation.

Anthony is more humble than Mother Theresa and Mohatma Gandhi's love child if you believe the Hearn PR

Is there anything more humble than a guy asking you to love and get behind him because he is so humble???
As for the addiction, i know how he feels, i was heading for a career in politics until "Pro Evolution international superstar soccer deluxe" came out in 97....i had the world at my feet...and a controller in my hand. Screw you Konami.

Always wondered if his convictions would stop him getting a USA visa ?

It's highly unlikely he'll ever "have" to go and fight over there. Hopefully he does though. Big fight in Vegas or MSG is on every fighters bucket list.

Don't forget that David James could have become the greatest England goalkeeper ever, if only he hadn't got addicted to Tomb Raider. Those '90s game developers have a lot to answer for!

I imagine a lot of drug dealers like a blast on the playstation. I can't see them doing Open University courses with that spare 40 hours that they don't have to be on the clock.

This is some of the most transparent PR rubbish I've seen. "You see folks he's just like you, and also he's super dedicated and gives up anything that detrimentally effects his boxing. Also play FIFA 16".

That'll definitely cost you some sleep and a potential promotion. Go easy Taansend

Luckily I wash it down with a nice bottle of Nero d'avola so sleep isn't an issue.
Going for a crap is though

Knowing how crude and predictable Eddie Hearn's camp PR machine is I'm surprised Joshua didn't claim that being addicted to playing tiddlywinks with his nieces and nephews almost ruined him...,

I've played FIFA 16 with Joshua, he's pretty good at it. Think it's like everything else addictive in life, you have to set out firm boundaries or else it can impact on other areas.

Can you confirm or deny reports that Joshua is the most humble, down to earth, normal person in the world? Or is he even humbler?
Thanks!
