    Did you miss the 80k fans at Wembley last week?

    For someone who wasn't in a big fight he sure seems able to draw the crowds in.

    To be fair to you, I couldn't care less how many fans are there, people don't tune in to watch the crowd or head count.

    It is the actual big fights they want to see.

    The point is it was a big fight. AJ vs Povetkin was a big fight in its own right. This was after the previous fight vs Parker which was a unification fight. Again another big fight.

    BT could have done with using a bloke that could speak properly here.

    The actual setup here looks good to be fair to BT.

    So, that's today?!
    Real questions are, will Wilder shout BUMSQUAD from the top of his lungs, and will Fury show up in some kind of superhero costume?

    Watched as much as I could handle of Wilders IFL interview. He's an incoherent, stuttering, contradicting buffoon.

    Define biggest. Joshua v Povetkin and Parker were both ranked higher with more boxrec points than Fury and Wilder. Both of them fights had more belts on the line. Both Sold more tickets than Wilder v Fury will do and more PPV buys.

    So in what way is Wilder v Fury bigger?

    Utterly cringe worthy. Ended with Fury standing up and offering Wilder a spar and calling him a bum. A shove from Wilder and a load of security and the presser was finished.

    Why are people so butt hurt about this fight? It's outrageous! We have ourselves a great heavyweight fight here. If you're a boxing fan, just sit back and enjoy the show. The beef is between the promoters. Fans getting sucked into promotional conflict and hating on good fights is stupid.

    As modern press conferences go, this was an entertaining one. Two trash talkers going at it and Fury with several funny one-liners. The gypsy king was like a ***** cat on good morning Britain, and a madman in the afternoon press conference. That bipolar behaviour unsettles his opponents, and Wilder appeared uncomfortable at times.

    I think Fury wins no problem. Psychologically he appears extremely confident and happy. Get Fury's head right and his talent and size will look after the rest.

    Just as well Tyson is one of the most elusive heavyweights we've seen.
