    This was why people thought Dillian whyte was jealous of AJ before their fight, he knew AJ from their amateur days and he knew the act he is putting on now is all for show.

    It has worked for him and all and am happy for him making money, I like his fights not a fan of his robotic style but I really can't stand his fake persona.

    His put on accent even though he spend half of his life in Nigeria etc.
    You don't think winning the olympics and becoming a role model changes a man?

    Yes joshua used to be a street thug but he's risen above that and he understands kids look up to him so hold himself to a higher standard now.

    He's gone from boy to man. unlike many others who just don't know when to grow up.

    Nothing "fake" about it

      Of course it does and credit to him on that, changes happens as you grow older but changes without the cameras and media around.

          the most boring piece of promo for a fight I have ever seen lol

          Both guys were coached on what to say so it made it even worse.

            I know AJ and he has certainly changed a lot since his late teens, early 20s but and i'm sure he would be honest about this himself away from the cameras, he is no mamas boy. Far from it...very far from it.

            What you see on camera is different from what I know in real life but hey, if that's theway the british public will get behind a star and not turn on them like in the past, then I'm ok with that.

              Am closer to Joshua than you so yeah I know what am talking about, but definitely he has matured, but his personal is manufactured.

                  They have done an incredible job of marketing this fight considering Wlad already lost to Fury.

                  Had Wlad had beaten Fury and still been champ, then i'd fully agree this would be a HUGE fight. I mean, it is a huge fight in terms of numbers but in boxing terms, i'm not sure it's anywhere close to being significant as they're making it out to be because Wlad is coming off a loss and an 18 month lay off.

                  It's an odd one really, in some ways both fighters might not get enough credit for winning. If Wlad wins, people might say he beat a guy who hadn't fought anyone good. If AJ wins, people will say Wlad was old, inactive and had been beating by Fury. In a way, Fury is the one who might get their legacy enhanced the most out of this fight if Wlad were to win.

                  I hope for a good fight and will give credit to the winner anyway. It will be a huge event and a spectacle but as i say, not sure it's quite as significant a fight as they're making out but it's about business and they've smashed that side of it.

                    I understand where you coming from, I have nothing against him and like I said he has matured a lot. My brother still goes to his house and chill with his sisters, HW needs someone like him to wake it up but even when he KO'ed Whyte, his PR team were trying to tell him not to celebrate, which he replied to "phuck it I don't give a phuck " anyways am rooting for him either way.

                      I'm in two minds whether to watch it. I know what to expect.
