I was on FaceBook just messing around and I see "Joshua Clottey" posting something about how he's fed up with boxing and wants to play soccer instead. I know that there are a lot of people with nothing better to do than hero worship and pretend to be their favorite athlete so I post "Hope that all works out for you" almost as a joke.
He IMs me, "Are you a journalist" and I say yeah, with BoxingScene.com/Boxing Digest. I tell him if he'd like to do an interview, call me. Less than 5 seconds later I get a call and guess who, Joshua Clottey.
So I did the interview, should be up tonight, he's very upset with the welterweight division and how he can't get any of the top welters to fight him. It's gonna be interesting.
The boxing gym that he goes to is like 4 minutes away from where I live and yes a friend of mines always sees him playing soccer, so I'm not surprised if that is what he wants to do.
Like I said, blame Arum, the dude hasn't done **** for Clottey.
Bob Arum has done a ****TY job promoting Josh. It is that simple. Boxing fans love a guy like Clottey. He makes good TV fights for the most part and has a personality that far exceeds Cotto or Margarito. Its just sad that he is stuck with such a bad promoter.
