Anthony Joshua is the reason that British fighters have been paid well over the last 10 years If he never boxes again he will go down as all time British great. No one has continually filled out stadiums like AJ. The hate and disgusting comments just sums up society right now

Dear #JelenaOstapenko: This is what respect, humanity and class looks like. It’s diffident when someone has been where you’ve been, understand your struggle and instead of hating or acting as if you are not good enough, they show love, support, empathy and give hope” ~Deon Taylor

Germany’s rise hasn’t been luck. Their U19s about to play for a U19 world championship. Over 70% of their youth internationals play regular minutes in Pro A, Pro B, or BBL. Clear pathways. Strong domestic leagues. Results at every level. British pro leagues take note 📝

John Amaechi speaking on the pro-league to the Guardian in 2005. Interestingly, and almost prophetically, now that the league has actually gone under, it seems like there is a growing focus on pathways and British development.

When AJ does retire, people are going to realise how important he has been to British Boxing in the last decade, as it then falls off a cliff ⌛️

Jokes/memes are cool but some of the AJ tweets I’ve seen are nasty man. When people are ready, they’ll speak about mental health & being kind but then tweet wicked. Yeah AJ’s a two-time world champ & the poster guy of boxing but he’s actually one of us. He supports his own.

It’s ironic that in the U.K., it’s easier to buy other countries’ national team merchandise than our own. 📍Nike Town, Oxford Circus

So when you treat them as the “peer” that they want to be seen as and challenge them to the things they NEED to do in order thrive at this level, they shell up and in most-cases disappear because they’re not ready to face the reality

You then try to offer guidance/support (like you always have) but they’re refusing it because of how they feel about their situation…
