Nickname for AJ?

Saw this discussed on another forum couple of years ago.

I still don't think he has a nickname yet unless its AJ which is lame because he has so much potential to go by a real attention grabbing name. Something sinister and menacing.

I will offer up Anthony ''Watford whirlwind'' Joshua

any others?

BJ

Seems to be written in to the contract of any commentator or writer that they have to mention it when discussing Joshua, so I'd go with Anthony 'Ahead of where Lennox Lewis was after the same amount of fights' Joshua.

Chris!

Personally, I'm just glad they ditched the 'Peoples Champ' moniker they started out with. Awful, cringeworthy and underserved.

Maybe he could pick something as a tribute to a former great, he throws serious bombs, so how about the Brown Bomber? Also tees up nicely his demolition of Yank hype-job Deontay 'Bronze Bomber' Wilder.

You do all realise AJ itself is a nickname?

It's my nickname, Adam Joseph

My other nicknae is T. Aj was before the Sopranaos but T was after

'Waford Warrior'??

Can't see them pushing a Watford based nickname onto him with them trying to make him the poster boy for British boxing and touring all round the country with him. Wouldn't garner the greatest of fan responses.

Not that I have any better ideas to be fair.

Anthony "the Hammer" Joshua

"tree"?

Bruno didn't need a nickname and did OK for himself (they did flirt with calling him "Bomber" for a while but it never stuck)

AJ is up right there with "Double M" (Michael Moorer). But I do like BJ....

Lewis never had one. Flirted with "Lion" and "Tower Of London" but none stuck.

How about "Juggernaught" or "The Beast"?

'AJ Force'

The M25 Adonis.

" The God of War" Joshua

The Gold Bomber, pis* Wilder off a bit.

Sounds like a mobile gigolo.

"His power will make you say, 'Oh my Goshua', it's Anthony Joshua!"

Anthony 'Pile of Toshua' Joshua

Anthony 'Makes Eddie a lot of Doshua' Joshua

Anthony 'Barry wants to give him a Noshua' Joshua

"Can opener"

Which is in Hertfordshire.

Anthony the king of herts Joshua

Ajax.........he's cleaning out the division.

If he turns out to be rubbish we can call the "Watford Crap".

the Gold dealer..
Marijoshua
Pure ecstasy
The Pyrex pot (I admit this was just a cheap shot)
The KO KID? (it's taken in South Africa, but the guy has one KO in his last six, so Joshua could point that out... maybe they Could fight for it?

Not bad. But think, if he wore green trunks and wore a green robe into the ring he could call himself the Green Hornet. Even better, if he wore a green mask like Hopkins does and had two long feelers coming out of his head like an insect.

Then when he stopped an opponent or KO'd them, the commentator could say the opponent had been stung.

Inspirational Atila. I'm a bit down with the kids so I've written a rap for him to use for his ring entrance.

Muhammad, Muhammad Ali
He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee
When he did that AJ wasn't born yet
He floats like a moth and stings like a hornet

Perhaps someone else a bit down with the kids like Michael Gove could record it for him?

You're down with the kids? I suppose even retirement homes have new kids on the block

That's me raf. Some new stud has to keep the gilfs happy.

just stick sugar before his name, sounds terrible but they normally turn out alright

C-, not a savaloy, muffit, truffit or even a shout out to Oscar to get this mutha on.

C- is very generous jim. I was aiming lower than that.

Keep it simple......Rogan Josh..ua

Big Brown?

Maybe he could be called
Yeshua ben Yosef?
Then the Greeks can call him Jesus?

Of course it only works if his dads name is Joseph.

I couldn't go all Simon codpiece on you milky "He floats like a moth" was just too good a line.

Australian Jesus, has cornered the Jesus market at the moment, him and his girlfriend Australian Mary magdelin.

Ha, Australian jesus's real name is AJ Miller. Spooky.

"Mary Magdalene"............Have some respect..

The second most important Woman in history...

Anthony "JawBreaker" Joshua?
