    Lennox will always be British. He can fight can't he? Therefore he can't be Canadian.

      PS I'm not Murrican.
      What the f3ck are you even talking about. Show me which country doesn't get pleasure from their sports stars doing well?

      If those foreigners play for their home team, then yes, they enjoy watching them. Same with any other Football league with foreigners.

        I'm not going to explain it more, it should be obvious and I think it's a bit weird.
        You think it's a bad thing not being a nationalist and supporting boxers they like from other countries? I've liked many boxers from other countries over the years. Monzon, Tszyu, Trinidad etc etc..

        You only like your home country fighters and support no one outside of it? And you think we're weird?

        Where are you from anyway?

          Really? I hear USA USA with plenty of sports. The Ryder cup with Golf. Even Woman's Football. Boxing.

          We don't really do that over here.

          But yeah, most of our fighters get some quality support. We need to keep the sport alive.

              They also hold their teeth in high praise as well, so...

                Soccer clubs have taught them how to be loyal to the core.

                It translated to boxing, well.

                  Own country sportsmen usually get first support in any country which does not mean that the best from anywhere are not recognised and appreciated. I guess that it's the UK soccer thing with me, teams owned by foreigners, managed by foreigners with lots of foreign players. A real typical UK sellout.

                    It is a cultural thing, Mexicans do the same. I think is great for the sport even though some are to fanatical

                      They thought Kell Brook would beat Spence.

                      Lennox Lewis was slept by Rahman first and he beat a shell of Mike Tyson.

                      They think Joshua will do Wilder in, lmao.
                      Only few Brits think Calzaghe was great. Everyone knows he fought old Hopkins and Jones and he didn't fight the best.

                      No one expected Hatton to beat Mayweather but what did WaNT the Brits to do? Forsake their own.

                      As for Joshua he will beat Wilder and Wilder and his team know. Even Fury knows he can't beat Joshua that's why they want no part of him. A fight with Wilder is easy to make if he thinks he can get a win but because it's Joshua they try to be impossible.
