    I mean he causes controversy which helps, many Brits love him for that, others want to see him lose.

    When are they fighting ?
    Whoever wins will get the bragging rights. That's what matters in the end....

    Fury has a panic attack when he realises he has to defend a title. Wants to go on another mental health tour and do drugs instead.

    No because he doesn't look like a phony bodybuilder. Joshua is a manufactured champion, who's been holding those shiny belts ransom!

    Yes.

    I support both but Fury a tad more with him being a manc and all.

    It's almost like people aren't aware how much Fury is liked nowadays. Sure the sponsors might want to stay well clear of the lad but he's a bigger fan base than Joshua these days.

    That's a pathetic remark, even for someone who gets his back up at any pro-Fury discourse. Do you feel smart stooping to such depths?

    Lay off the rabid fanboyism, Anthony Joshua's not paying you any valuable commission.

    No, Fury has not sold 80- 90k seats on multiple occasions or commanded massive offers from overseas ala Joshua v Ruiz two. The facts speak for themselves, AJ is and will continue to be the money man/ biggest draw in the division!

    No one is interested in watching Fury fight because aside from Wilder 2 his style is awkward, frustrating and boring!

    He’s never filled a decent sized arena against anyone but Wilder 2, even Wilder 1 was average after a world tour and millions poured into promoting it.

    Fury can’t attract a sponsor or an endorsement worth much money, he’s just not marketable!

    I like Fury, however he’s built a style that wins him fights but is boring looks awful while he’s tarnished himself with comments that aren’t just controversial but are insulting to large swathes of the population.

    He’s not as popular as Joshua, he’s not as marketable as Joshua, his fights aren’t as attractive as Joshua’s, he’s not an attractive commodity to sponsors like Joshua is. He’s not bothered about any of that though because he’s been to the puppet show and he’s seen the strings, Fury’s now in it for himself and his family and there’s nowt wrong with that.

    Words on a screen mate don’t take it to heart.

    No because Joshua has the media machine behind him. It’s the same as Hollywood conning people into thinking their people are great actors and the most beautiful people in the world at the same time. When in fact, they’re neither.

    So what you’re essentially saying is every one of the 90,000 people who bought tickets to his events were all paid actors? Huge if true.

    Fury is the people's champion. Joshua is his people's champion.

    True the idea of defending titles does put Fury into a depression

    Beating a man he's already beat before? Defending against a bum dosser mandatory like Whyte?

    Boring. He's about going into enemy territory as a lone soldier and defeating men who think holding plastic belts means something & taking their souls. Fury retired mentally both Wlad and Wilder. He will retire Whyte & maybe even AJ when he is done with them.

    He will drop some of them belts immediately after he beats AJ for all of them. For sure he isn't holding onto that IBF corrupt garbage & paying them a wage no way.
