Marcus Rashford during lockdown has:
Started a charity that has raised £20 million and helped feed 2.8 million children
Launched a Christmas Box campaign with Selfridges to help Manchester's homeless
Learned sign language to judge a poetry competition in a deaf school
And has now come out in support of an autistic lad who has been the subject of bullying
He's 22. A credit to his profession, his family but most of all to himself.

So not only is he young, rich and talented but he's a nice guy.
Doesn't he realise he's meant to set a bad example so the tabloids can point what a bad example he is setting, how these players have it too easy, get paid too much, bring back national service, wibble

Does sound like a thoroughly decent human though
Massive respect to the young man! Incredible person
That's an incredibly important question.
Any other year and he wouldn't have won lol
2007 the year Calzaghe won he fought 2 different fighters.
Fury is gonna fight Wilder twice this year and win SPOTY
We saw what happened when Giggs got nominated against Jenson Button
Becoming the undisputed best boxer on the planet is some achievement Paulie.
Particularly in light of the mental health issues he overcame to get there.
Well deserved imo
Pretty much what SPOTY should be about.
But had COVID19 not hit and we had the Euros and the Olympics there is no way he would win.
Also fighting the same fighter later in the year who you beat earlier in the year doesnt seem like a great champion to me, he just beat Wilder and knows he will beat him again.
Do another fight in October like Joshua and do the Wilder 3rd fight another time

Sky and BT have already distanced themselves from negotiations for TV coverage of the fight with AJ and the BBC themselves have said this on their website about him:
Daniel Kinahan first came to widespread public attention in Ireland in February 2016 when gunmen attacked the weigh-in at a boxing bout that resulted in the murder of a man described as a leader of the Kinahan crime cartel in Ireland.
The immediate aftermath of the shooting as spectators fled in fear was caught on camera and the footage went around the world.
It is believed he was the intended target.
The murder was part of a feud that has claimed at least 18 lives.
Politicians, police officers and the public in Ireland are keen that the outside world get to know what they call the real Daniel Kinahan.
I doubt they are all saints but they've managed to come across well.
