    Anthony Joshua only boxed for Team GB because he got rejected by Nigerian officials.

    I find that very surprising, never knew until just recently.

    He wanted desperately to box for Nigeria at the 2008 Olympics. He had a chance, but he acted like a prima donna and wouldn't attend the trials so more experienced boxers were selected. After this he basically ragequit and went with Team GB after having a tantrum.

    He spent the majority of his first 13 years living in Nigeria. He classes himself as African. He has African tattoos. He went by 'Femi', the most Nigerian name out there, most of his life. And he speaks the Yoruba language fluently, and apparently often in his private life.

    The guy is sold to the British public as the biggest uncle Tom. In reality he is a Black supremacist who identifies as African. You couldn't make this stuff up but it is hilarious.

    What's your point? That he isn't British because he can speak a second language? I bet he speaks better English than you. Plus, having spent time in and out of the gym with him, I havent once heard him "fluently" speak Yoruba once.

    Even if he did, so what? Being multilingual is great. Plus, I've never once heard him being called an Uncle Tom, which is a word used in the US and has zero relevance in the UK.

    I could go on but you seem ******ed.

        You have people like Robbie Barrett, probably living in some piss-stained hovel, hero worshipping this man. A man who's only British when he wants your money. Meanwhile Robbie is spending his housing benefit and getting budgeting loans to buy merchandise and PPVs.

        Stop pretending to know AJ, it got old a couple of years ago when you first started trolling. After you admitted to trolling, nobody is buying it.

                  Yes. A man taking the opportunities presented to him, I am not criticizing him. But these British fans who are going rabid for AJ need to check themselves. Look at the amount of posts we get on here from bigoted Brits, using AJ as a stick to beat the less fortunate fat Yanks with.
