It should be Crawford bro, that whyte boy Anthony getting white privilege.

Which 'whyte' Anthony you referring to, Mundine or Joshua?

He beat a guy that Fury had already beaten 18 months earlier in an easier fashion, albeit less exciting.

This is why Joshua is a turn off to some boxing fan. He really hasn't done anything to deserve some of this accolades, he is now getting into what is needed to be done. But he is NOT there yet. Let him beat the Parkers, Wilders and defend those titles against the top challengers first.

Yeah but doing that would merit a little more than a mere nomination in the 'World Breakthrough of the Year' category, wouldn'tcha think?

That's right. Now, about that 'white privilege'...

[Tom Cruise]

Think this is one of those ones where people kick off without reading the article

lol yeah thats what I think as well.

People complaining already, but why couldnt he be nominated for Breakthrough sportsman of the year?

It was a breakout year for him, and he is now a megastar in this country and a star around the world.

Mbappe should probably win, but dont see any reason AJ shouldn't be nominated

Yep it's clear he's the biggest breakthrough star in boxing for 2017. He's gone from a guy with a paper belt and a star only in the UK to being the top dog in the division, one of the biggest draws in the sport and an international star. Why wouldn't he be nominated for this.

All I can assume is people have not read the article and think he's been nominated for sports person of the year, which he hasn't. He's not on that level yet.

Every one knows Fury beat Klitschko but your man decided to do drugs and eat pies. Maybe he could get an award for a pie eating contest?

Maybe he could, i'm sure he probably could.

Still doesn't change the fact that Joshua is getting more accolades for beating an older, inactive Wlad and almost got his lights put out in the process.

Good recognition for boxing for AJ being nominated, he might not win but at least boxing got recognized.

For all you haters/losers out there, AJ thinks nothing of your bile hate, keep hating while he makes £££ off your hating while your favorite boxer Beyonce isn't even recognized in hilly 'bama!

joshua might as well get the 'pimp' of the year award for laying one on Khan's wife..not to mention all the lowkey white housewifes he might be smashing
