'Racism Is A Pandemic', Says Anthony Joshua


Britain's world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua described racism as a "pandemic" when he addressed protesters at a Black Lives Matter march.

The 30-year-old, wearing a knee brace as a "precautionary measure", read a poem and spoke in front of hundreds of people in his home town of Watford.

"The virus has been declared a pandemic," Joshua said.

"This is out of control. And I'm not talking about Covid-19. The virus I'm talking about is called racism."

The IBF, WBA and WBO world champion added: "We stand united against a virus which has been instrumental in taking lives, taking lives of the young, old, rich, poor; a virus which is unapologetic and spreads across all sectors."
