'If you think I'm a racist, go f*** yourself': Anthony Joshua hits back at critics of his speech during Black Lives Matters protest where he told people to 'abstain from spending money in their shops and invest in black-owned businesses'

Anthony Joshua has hit back at critics claiming he's 'racist' following the speech he made at a Black Lives Matter protest on Saturday.

Wearing a black hoodie with the movement's name on the front, the WBA, WBO and IBF world champion joined hundreds of others on the peaceful protest in his home town of Watford, while pictured on crutches and sporting a leg brace.

The unified heavyweight champion was then filmed at a park gathering, where he read a speech from a piece of paper and spoke out in the fight against racism.
