    Joshua was willing to fight Miller, Ortiz, and Ruiz in his American debut but you are happy to celebrate Schwarz. I swear, us boxing fans deserve the crap fights that we keep getting.

    Fair enough but Fury is who he is over there on the back of the Wilder fight I’d say

    Schwarz was a competent boxer. It doesn’t matter who you put in with Fury tonight. On that form everyone gets ****ing destroyed. Fury was absolutely sensational today.

    Todays fight was mostly a publicity stunt, despite the great performance. Fury has arrived in America and is fully serious now. But given the AJ context it really opens up the division, and I hope the belts get somewhat partitioned fairly. The heavyweight division is exciting and on fire.

    I am British and I like Fury and Joshua both, I wanted to see them fight for undisputed that would have been awesome for British fight fans.

    Why don't you like Joshua?

    Is it cos he's black?

    The measuring stick of a fighter and his career are his titles.

    Right now Fury 0 - 0 Joshua.

    I don’t see what we’re celebrating here.

    In an ideal world Joshua beats Ruiz, Fury beats Wilder then we have a British unification.

    This is true. He put on a show for the casuals like Wilder does by beating tomato cans...

    I can't really think of many other reasons, I can see people finding him a bit bland and not having a feeling either way on him

    But there's real hatred, many Brits were celebrating like they had won the lottery as a British heavyweight champion lost 80% share of the heavyweight crown and all the yanks were laughing at us.

    Strange mentality

    A lot of boxing fans are very insular. The fact that some kid who has never heard of Lomachenko and is bored by Fury watched Joshua Klitschko and loved it makes them furious.

    Fury may be but not Frank. There's a reason he mentioned Arum and not Frank in the post fight interview.
