Any offenses the UK sports media has committed in overhyping Joshua are nothing compared to the offenses they are still committing in glossing over Fury’s mysterious doping ban, his past misogynistic comments, his serial backouts from scheduled fights and his clear, public and longtime links to an alleged murderous global gangster who has had a $5 million bounty placed on his head by the US government. Say what you want about Joshua, but you can never say that while he was heavyweight champion, he was deemed persona non grata by the United States and barred from entering the country. Guess who you can say that about? Fury! Yet the UK sports media and worldwide boxing media is too cowardly to address this, and it has been left to a handful of Irish journalists, and in particular a female crime columnist, to do all the digging and investigating.
Sorry, but the real “villain” isn’t Hearn - or Joshua.
