I'm pretty sure he was referring to racism. I don't believe that's the case though and certainly not from his haters on here as most of them have picked other black fighters to beat him.

Plenty of racism about but its a serious stretch to suggest that is the reason people want to see AJ fail. As mentioned people love an underdog, just look back to how popular Frank Bruno was. Naff all to do with racism for the most part.
 
Canelo should be banned and I don't think GGG wanted to fight a drugs cheat anyway

Pulev has been ordered to fight whyte in a final title eliminator and has accepted :)

A fight I'd like to see but it won't happen. They will be sticking to the 5th May and bjs won't be ready due to his hand injury.

Oh I know May would be too soon but you'd hope something could be agreed for June/July.

Unfortunately it does sound like GGG has something lined up for May now and will probably go straight into the Canelo fight late summer once this failed test has been brushed under the carpet.
 
Looks like Fury is hoping to make his return on the 9th of June, no named opponent yet though.

Hopefully he can get back to a good level and give us a couple of interesting fights for the titles, win or lose.

How would Fury fare against Joshua?

Fury is very awkward to fight against.

After Joshua's last performance I really can't call it. It depends on how AJ can impose himself really and if he catches Fury then that would be that.

Already an intriguing prospect. But I think we need to see what shape Fury is in. And I mean mentally more than physically tbh.

Fury had a couple of decent fights, before that he hit himself in the face and got knocked down by a cruiser weight. That was all before his substance abuse never mind his mental state.
 
It's really hard to judge Fury, he'd mostly looked like a pretty average boxer until he fought Klitschko and did the unthinkable and beat him. Whether that was because Fury fought a clever fight or because Klitschko was really off his game that night is up for debate, but in my opinion we saw a very different Klitschko against Joshua than against Fury, so I lean more towards the latter. I think Joshua would have far too much for Fury.
