What he basically said is whilst nobody is racist to his face he does see what people say about him on chatrooms, and he's aware there's a lot of public dislike for him.

You'd have to be deaf and blind not to know that that is the case.

I was out the weekend he got KO'd by Prescott and coming out of the club around 1 am and finding out the result virtually everybody I spoke to about it was laughing and calling him a Paki cunt or a sand nigger.

It's most definitely out there, he's just a disliked fighter by a lot of fans and as a young kid it obviously hurts him and he thinks it racial related.

He was just talking from the heart and speaking what he felt.

It's easy to pick fault with him, but you don't have your every word reported to the press and picked apart.

He's just reacting how most confident young lads would when they feel they being targeted.
