So is there anyone out there who acually believes Anthony Joshua is a clean athlete?

    Herp de derp

    You don't know what you're talking about as per usual.

    You know who's never been tested? Klitschko.
    You're lying again.

    Klitschko has been tested for every fight, including by an American Commission for the last one in the USA against Bryant Jennings.

    For many of his fights, he's been tested by the German Boxing Commission. They are one of the best in the world, under the watchful eye of NADA when doing their testing. Mariusz Wach was caught a couple of years ago after his fight with Klitschko.


    Was Joshua tested last year before a Wembley fight, or are you making that up?

      Lol yeah tested post fight. He's not randomly drug tested ever and refuses to do it.

      Yes he was. Sky sports did a little thing with AJ where he was drug tested and came out all clean.

        He filled out in his early 20s. Look at his weights for his early pro fights at age 20.

          I'm not saying Joshua is dirty, but to me his distended gut raises some questions.

          Klitschko might be on the gear as well, I wouldn't be surprised.
          I think Klitschko is clean.

          I'm just saying, they have a similar physique.

            Yeah he was 220 when he started out or close to it.

            Joshua has had exactly the same physique he has now since his amateur days - in the olympics too where he was randomly drug tested. He's been tested in the pros too.

              So what is it then, genetics? If so, where were these genes in the 70's and 80's because I didn't see any fighters lookinh like this back then. Is it "advances in modern training"? Which are what exactly, a needle in the arm after every session? Have weight training and plyometrics only been around for the last ten years or something? I don't see anything in your average boxing gym today which wouldn't have been around in the 70's.

              As for "innocent until proven guilty", that would be fine if testing standards in boxing were up to scratch. But they're not, they're not even close. British boxer Larry Olubamiwo took 13 banned substances including HGH and anabolic steroids over a six year period before finally getting caught for EPO and admitting to the rest. Standard commissions in the US are no better, look up Joe Rogan's interview with Victor Conte for more information on that. HGH isn't even tested for.

              I wish people in boxing wouldn't turn a blind eye to this. I think it's our duty as fans to make as much noise as possible when somebody looks dirty and the onus should be on them to prove they're clean by undertaking the most stringent testing possible. Forget about personal bias and picking favourites, just speak up regardless for the sake of the sport's integrity. Boxing is dangerous enough without all of this.

              You've got Marquez blatantly doping after getting together with Memo, Shawn Porter giving Malignaggi a hematoma inside four rounds and suddenly looking a beast after hooking up with Victor Conte and Rios getting busted by VADA after only one fight with Ariza. Who knows how many other fighters are flying under the radar. Trainers and promoters are gonna protect their fighter no matter what, but I for one am sick of seeing this shameless cheating.


              What an idiot.

                    Maybe hes just a big guy, also he trains alot so obviously hes going to be ripped. He might be on steroids, but there is no proof.
