[P4Pdunny]

So why do you care?

this place sometimes, theres always a smart mouth - take that somewhere else

[Boksfan]

What did he say about Joshua and Africans?

Joshua is an African man and Wilder told him to remove Africa tattoo out of his arm. Wilder saying that is directly attacking Joshua heritage as an African man and he insult African people because Wilder has nothing to do with Africa and knows nothing about Africa so he shouldn't make any comments about African people in the first place.

If wilder isn’t African than what is he? Being born in the USA of entirely African ancestry doesn’t make one less African because another was born in the uk of entirely African ancestry....I think you’re reaching a bit bro. A Puerto Rican and a Mexican having a fight both claiming to be the “real Latino” doesn’t make them racist against each other....just means their pride in their origins is great

But it's not Wilder being attacked. It's Joshua.

Joshua is born to Nigerian parents, went to school in Nigeria.

Wilder looked into his ancestry and claimed some Nigerian heritage. From somewhere.

How he's got the nerve to question Joshua's roots is beyond me? Is it because he's darker? Is it another veiled Uncle Tom jibe? Or is he just thick as schit?

Ok, Irish Mickey Ward didn’t have Irish ancestry then. Danny Garcia isn’t Puerto Rican. Rocky Marciano and Vinny Pazienza weren’t Italians. Jacobs was talking out his ass when he said “African style”......you all are reaching and you know it. Stop being childish with the arguing for the sake of arguing mess

[Oldskoolg]

“Racist” lol.....

You're missing the point.

Micky Ward can absolutely claim, and be proud of his Irish heritage.

But if he questioned Katie Taylor's he'd look like a nob.

Just like Deontay did questioning Joshua's.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Can't argue with you there. Wilder is the King of fighting tomato cans. Wilder fights them without short notice also.

Lol...True Dat!!

It’s getting old bro...,Katie Taylor and ward are not fighting and posturing. And even if they did have some kind of beef it still wouldn’t be “racist”.....you two are race baiting, playing the race card, playing the victim role and all that jazz....don’t cry wolf.

Watch Hearn bill it as "England vs. Mexico" while featuring a big black dude with Africa tattooed on him versus a fat white dude that looks like he's from Arkansas
