And had a positive test after his last fight of 2017, and this week lost his world title because he was way, way, way too heavy for his title fight. Destroyed the Japanese former world champion (logically, when you're much heavier), but could not win his title because of the weigth problem.

They're taking their sweet time. Next on the list: expel themselves. Turn the lights off at the AIBA office, bury that building deep in the earth and never look back again.

Time for the real stuff instead of AIBA. Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker will face off in front of almost 80.000 people in Cardiff tonight, in around 45 minutes. Heavyweight world titles in the IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO are at stake, winner probably/hopefully fights against WBC champion Deontay Wilder later on.

London 2012 Gold Medal bout...just that should be enough (but I can add his entire AIBA career before that infamous day)...

actually, it wasn't him directly, but still he was the one who got the benefit of that criminal afternoon...

 

moreover, I've never liked him as a boxer...his style, his (poor) technical skills...

 

obviously, I know it's gone beyond any reasonable analysis...at this point, it's something personal...

 

but still...I just can't stand him...

I have no idea of 2012, did he happen to fight an Italian?
