Comments Thread For: Joshua Doubts He'd 'Get Away' With Making Statements Like Fury

[BangEM]

Didn’t AJ say women belong in the kitchen or something like that a few years ago ?

He never said that. Fury was the one who said that.

‘A woman’s best place is in the kitchen,’ Tyson Fury says

The only thing Josh said that was a tad controversial with feminists was a comment he made on GQ about how he's stricter with his niece than his son because he wants her to become a good woman, while son can be Jack-the-lad.

AJ

“I don’t think I’m that strict with Joseph, I don’t know why. But with my niece I’m strict,” he said.

“He’s going to be a man’s man, he’ll want to spread his wings be a Jack-the-lad, build his character.

“But with my niece, there is none of that Jack-the-lad nonsense for her!

“My view is you have to be a good woman, respectful, one day you will be someone’s wife, you have to learn family morals … what it is to be a good woman.”

Poor AJ

At this point I think AJ is begging his fans to come back. Imagine Hearn trying to put on a Stadium fight against opponents like Takam now, there's no way people are gonna turn up to see AJ stink the place out in fear of taking a temple shot.

I agree 100 per cent here with AJ. Fury has done tremendous job promoting awareness on mental health, though he still sounds mental most of the time. Thus it's great see AJ being consideratie about Fury.

As for him what really connect both of them are the belt Fury is holding and legacy a win against will bring about, undisputed champion.

I can't wait to see this fight happen, all talks will be settled once and for all.

Joshuas image has been constructed for him to be the wholesome vanilla olympic hero. Fury never was that. So of course there are different expectations from the two. Although its not like Fury hasnt landed himself in hot water with his mouth before.

Shut up AJ, you will get your beating soon enough.

Kid, it's certain that you will go uncurable mental the night AJ sends Fury to bed. Lol.

I said it before. Anthony Joshua is absolutely correct. Tyson Fury is able to get away with things that other fighters cannot because of his white skin privilege. People tend overlook his racism, lies, cheating and rule breaking because he is white.

Coming from the guy who said: “Superior black race”.

AJ is either delusional or just plain ******...

I'm guessing you've never watched an episode of Blacked Raw?

Nope. Nothing to do with skin colour here. Fury played the media beautifully here. Upto 2017, in the UK, Fury was labelled as a "gypsy c*nt" by the majority of the white English glory supporting fans.

Once he started giving interviews and mentioned his mental health, depression and downfall it's only then the media started backing off from him because they did not want to be seen as the antagonists and bullies they were. The media builds you up and then revels in your downfall. It's pure gutter press and owned by the scummiest people around.

Fury just flipped the script, hired some good PR people, stopped saying nonsense about ***s and ****sexuals (two groups who have unproportionately high levels of power in the media and policy making) and played the victim. Now he is HW champion and has overcome his demons, if the media rallied against him again they would be seen as the scum they are.

No mate, you are factually incorrect. People tend to overlook Tyson Fury's racism and rule breaking because he is white; Even in Great Britain. You know I am right.

If AJ would so much as utter a modicum of Tyson Fury's controversial rhetoric he would lose all of his corporate sponsorships. They will all duck for cover. Those sponsors would drop him in a heartbeat as their spokesman.

Nope. Nothing to do with skin colour here. Fury played the media beautifully here. Upto 2017, in the UK, Fury was labelled as a "gypsy c*nt" by the majority of the white English glory supporting fans.

His mental illness is all bullshit. He only used it in order to divert attention away from his popping dirty for doping and he has played that angle just beautifully.

He is one the biggest liars and snake oil salesmen that I've ever heard. However, I agree that it is not as prevalent in the U.K. However it is very prevalent in the U.S. They introduced him first in the Wilder rematch as the challenger for crying out loud; Why because he is white?
