One of his Grandparents was Irish..
He's not fully black.
In case you didn't know.

funny how people mention Golovkin being 1/4 asian all the time, but no one mentions Joshua being 1/4 white.

Very simple... If Golovkin beats Canelo a lot of fans will try to make a Korean out of him... Just like certain fans try to make a white man out of Ward. To most people Ward looks black and Golovkin looks white.. You don't have to look like an Kenyan to be black or a Swede to be white.

Joshua is obviously a lot blacker than Ward... Trying to make an Irishman out of him would be pretty difficult... One of those Black-Irish dudes???

Dillian whyte is part Irish as well ,their fight could of been for the all Ireland belt.

What is the point of this topic ?
Is AJ better boxer if he has a white grandfather ?
Or just opposite ?

Right... And if you have a smidgen of Jewish blood they should rename Mount Calvary after you.

Ofcourse he is, he's the best of the world because his grandpa is white!

This is an utterly pointless thread.

Difference is Golovkin is 75% white, and Ward is 50/50 white/black. Ward looks like what he is.., hes a mixed raced guy with brown skin.. anyone who is 50/50 should be called mixed raced.

People who are 3/4 like Golovkin /Bellew/Joshua are Ok to be given a pass and called white or black. But guys like Thurman, Degale and Ward are clearly half and half its stupid to call them Black

I hate racism, and I hope that opening this post you had honest intentions. Here, where I live (fukcing Balkan) all are white, OK, not all, but over 99% (there are some Gipsies, and some strangers, of course)....
Here, on the street, everyone would say that Golovkin is white, Ward, Joshua and Haye are black, Thurman, Degale and Brook are mixed race....
Bellew would be considered white, I have some friends with much darker skin than him.....
Again, I hate/despise/dislike racism and all other "isms".....

I don't have a clue what you're babbling about but AJ and whyte probably have more Irish in than Tyson Fury who was the Irish heavyweight champion even though he and both his parents were born in England

Why can't we just call them men and not give a damn about color or nationality?
Stupid topic

muhammad ali's maternal grandfather was IRISH !---his mom was odessa o'grady.

I'll admit I'm guilty of this, but only to help get my Asian girlfriend interested in boxing. She likes it at least as much as I do now!

Do you spend your time actually thinking about things like that? You're hardly going to win any nobel prizes in your lifetime

I don't think its totally pointless. Most people aren't fully anything if you go back a few generations. This shuts up the "Supremacists," which is a very valid point.

It’s not a sporting related topic though. Perhaps it should be posted to the “Off topic” board.

I’m not interested in the racial background of any fighter, since I don’t think it affects sporting prowess in any way.

Is it not possible that a race may be more naturally inclined in swimming and another race more naturally inclined in a sprint? Perhaps it's all nurture. I don't claim to know, but realize this isn't a PC topic. If its moved to off topic, that's fine.

It is possible, it is the fact, but has nothing to do with racism.
The average Afro-American or Afro-Caribean is better sprinter than average Chinese or Indian, it is obvious.
There are some biological differences (the average man from Balkan is much taller than average man from Burma or Vietnam), but the best and the worst race do not exist. All of us are human beings, this is the beggining and the end of story.

With you 100% on all of that. Doesn't matter to me if Joshua is 1/4 Irish, or if he's gay, or whether he likes white girls, black girls, or Asian girls in high heels. But I like it, and it's a wake up call to racists of all stripes when they read Joshua is part white. The Klitschkos have a Jewish Grandmother and some fools online had a conniption about that. They can go eff themselves.

The worst kind of human beings----racists, nationalists, all kinds of chauvinists.......

We know that most African-Americans have mixed blood and generally don't resemble African blacks -- though some with very little mixed blood do.

But you sure can tell them from white people. People who aren't Basketball fans and see Steph Curry running the floor, they're not sure whether he's black or white, especially when he's wearing a white uniform. He's a lot lighter than Andre Ward for instance. But when you see Curry face to face -- you see the hair, lips, and skin-tone -- there's no doubt he's a black man. People don't need to break down their lineage to figure out what they are. Just look in the mirror.
