Anthony Joshua: ‘We can no longer sit back and remain silent’ | George Floyd protests

Boxing heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua joined people on a peaceful protest against the killing of George Floyd in his home town of Watford on Saturday. In a speech shared online, 30-year-old Joshua said: “We can no longer sit back and remain silent on this senseless, unlawful killings and sly racism on another human being - based on what? Only their skin colour. “We need to speak out in peaceful demonstrations - just like today, so well done Watford. We must not use a demonstration for selfish motives and turn it into rioting and looting.“ Read the latest on the George Floyd protests here: Get the latest headlines: and
