Heavyweight Eddie Chambers is making some very strong allegations towards Anthony Joshua and has been sharing 'proof', on social media.
35-year old Chambers, from Pittsburgh, has a record of 42 wins from 47 fights - with his most high-profile bout being his 2010 12 round world title defeat to Wladimir Klitschko in 2010. He hasn't fought since March 2016, when he lost to compatriot Gerald Washington
And he has opened up quite the storm on social media, accusing world champion AJ of sending him offensive messages on Instagram and calling him "a disgrace to the black race".
Even with AJ deciding to do a lot more talking on social media of late, including throwing shade at Tyson Fury, some people called ******** and branded it "fake". Eddie Hearn, Managing Director of Matchroom Boxing, and Joshua's promoter, said so - deeming the space between the underscore in AJ's @ to be the key clue.
However, others weren't so sure, as the space is in fact in Joshua's Instagram handle.
Chambers isn't dropping the claims, though - in fact he is trying to further prove the messages he received are legitimate and not photoshopped by posting the following video. It looks pretty real, to be fair.
Boxing Hard Podcast been very active in the whole debacle and say they have spoke to Chambers, who maintains it is genuine.
