    The only winners of that are the drug test labs. Why did Joshua have the rematch against Ruiz in Saudi Arabia rather than back in the US or the UK for that matter

    C'mon, AJ only fought in Saudi so he could donate his purse on driving lessons for Saudi women.

    I wasn't aware until you mentioned it. I've just read and watched and quite frankly, his speech didn't help matters one bit. I may have misunderstood, but it sounded like he was calling for something along the lines of self segregation with the whole "don't use their shops" line? I've lost a lot of respect for him after that and the seemingly infamous Twitter exchange with Eddie Chambers and the whole "Superior black race" comment that I missed as well, he seems to be racist.

    Neither of the two are exactly great role models it seems. The dearth of role models in the public eye is quite sad really but boxing right now really is scrapping the barrel

    Yet he was quite happy to take 10 milion from one of the oppressive regimes on earth. You have a conscious or you dont t

    ps. I will not let a man who was fully aware how they treat women preach to me.

    The promoter Daniel Kinahan can’t leave the Middle East because he’s wanted in Ireland, UK and probably other places as one of the leaders of one of the biggest drug cartels in the world.

    I didn't hear Joshua's comments but our lass did and she wasn't happy with him saying don't use 'their' shops. I don't agree with someone who is happy to be made a millionaire by accepting pay per view money from all colours and who held a title fight in a country notorious for human rights abuses then when asked kind of said this is sport, that's politics absolving himself of any personal accountability. He can't have his cake and eat it. Michael Jordan got ripped in the 90's after the LA riots for not coming out in support of them and saying republicans buy sneakers too. Perhaps not morally correct in our eyes but I think he realised its hypocritical to do both and he wanted the money. Joshua wants the money but rails against those who provide most of it. I don't know who owns shops I go into, most are Asian owned where I live but if I'm in a predominantly black area and need something I'll go there same as I would in any other area.

    I support BLM 100% and I don't pretend to know what it's like to grow up black in a white country so can't comment on that. We shouldn't really be telling anyone what they should or shouldn't do if we have no clue how they feel. I did find Joshua to be divisive and hypocritical considering who he is and what he's done. Just my opinion though ha ha.

    I’m not sure who’ll win. Joshua has the power, Fury obviously has the ringcraft. I’m really looking forward to the fights between two great British heavyweights.

    Hopefully the pubs will be back open so we can have a pint while we’re watching them.
