Before I read your post I knew who you were talking about just from the title Angry.
He's done lots of odious stuff that he probably passes off as a 'joke'.

RoyalBankOfFuckThis · 28/03/2020 18:08

Pathetic attempt at an apology.

I think he should do humanity a favour and kindly drown in a swamp.

St0pTryingT0MakeFetchHappen · 28/03/2020 18:15

Good to see that in an attempt to apologise for his jokes about violence, he's decided to comment on another situation where he'd be violent... Hmm

RoyalBankOfFuckThis · 28/03/2020 18:23

Urgh he's absolutely vile.

I tweeted it to every media outlet I could find. Fingers crossed it comes out.

SeaViewBliss · 28/03/2020 18:32

Fucking hell

SeaViewBliss · 28/03/2020 18:37

Fucking hell even more now I’ve seen some of the comments from his followers after his apology.

Rumboogie · 28/03/2020 18:38

That is not a joke.

Thank God it has been picked up. Trouble is it is clearly not being taken seriously.

IMO he should be banned from his sport.

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 28/03/2020 18:39

The apology is almost as bad - he’d protect “his” women Angry

JackiFazaki · 28/03/2020 18:39

If this was about hitting people with disabilities, (for example) then he'd be nicked.
It should be a hate crime to post stuff like this about women.

pippishortsocks · 28/03/2020 18:41

Surely this is incitement to violence and as such he should lose his professional boxing licence

^ This. I haven't clicked on the link in case he gets advertising revenue. Has anybody sent a link to the police for their opinion?

supersop60 · 28/03/2020 18:44

I have complained to the British Boxing Board of Control.

JemimaPuddleCat · 28/03/2020 18:45

What an absolute prick. Even the way he is responding to people calling him out is to jump straight into anger mode.

Who can we report him to?

Hopeisnotastrategy · 28/03/2020 18:48

I’d bring it to the attention of the police.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 28/03/2020 18:48

I have nothing to do with boxing but at a guess this is where I would start. If anyone knows the names of any organisations or bodies he’s associated with please add their names. he is the current WBO title holder for his weight category. I would start with contacting them, he is probably a member of different boxing organisations, probably holds a license so the licensing body, his promotors/sponsors/management team? Any endorsements of him by others? Again- I have no names. Does anyone know?

JackiFazaki · 28/03/2020 19:02

He's done it before apparently, with a £100,0000 fine from his licensing body a couple of years ago.

I think Nottinghamshire police got involved.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 28/03/2020 19:10

Oh good so he has form. That will make it easier for the police to take it seriously this time. He’s obviously thick as shit to do it again!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/03/2020 19:18

“It’s a horrible video but I’m sure he his joking.”.

There are somethings that you just don’t joke about, Mollie. Also aren’t jokes supposed to be funny I can’t see anyone laughing. Mind you some sickos might be.
His arse lickers on Facebook.

Shitsgettingcrazy · 28/03/2020 19:20

For all the women stuck in lockdown with a violent partner. It's not funny.

It's not even something people should be joking about. It isnt funny

It pains me to say this but “Right at this very moment there’s probably a women get shit beat out of while her poor children scream/quiver in the corner of the room terrified that their mum is going to be beaten to death.
My heart totally breaks for anyone trapped in that petrifying situation.

I hope there is very serious repercussions for this “joker”

Floralnomad · 28/03/2020 19:29

The British boxing board of control generally take this kind of behaviour very seriously , he has been fined and suspended in the past for similar type offences . He is probably best ignored .
