    Would say Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois but they’re entertaining because of how stupid they are. So most boring personality is probably Anthony Joshua.

    For me, it's Bosh Snr; once you've seen one video of him ordering the menu from the Blue Orchid and ending every sentence with his BOSH catchphrase, you've pretty much seen all he has to offer to the human race.

    The guy is simply a gluttonous, one-trick phony, a cheap gimmick who lives vicariously through his son, ignorant of his own ignorance, so much so that he's become a slave to it.

    He truly believes in his own importance and thinks he knows more than he does, especially about boxing, but it even applies to Chinese food.

    He would actually get the shock of his life if he traveled to China or the Far East and immersed himself in the culture and traditional cuisines.

    Eddie Hearn has also become incredibly boring in recent years; every time he opens his mouth, you can almost smell the bull****, which is a shame as he was a breath of fresh air when he came on the scene. Yet that was simply because Warren, Maloney, et all had been feeding us **** cards for years.

    Conor Benn is also another who now lives fully embedded in a fake reality, behind a carefully constructed false self; hopefully, 2025 is the year he gets sparked out.

    What all three of the above have in common is they appeal to the lowest common dominator, dumb****s, and idiots that frequent social media platforms.

    They're also a representation of the spectrum of narcissism, ranging from the low-grade narcissist the Fisher Snr is to the high-grade borderline sociopath that Hearn has evolved into, with Benn presently ranging somewhere in the middle.

    Eddie has definitely become a parody of himself. He needs some new material.

    He is a mimic of the John Fury paradox. He is there simply to promote his son and sell his fights. I see both Big John's just used as clever marketing.

    Bosh snr is alright. You can clearly see the love he and his son have for each other. I don't blame him for making a few quid out of it whilst promoting his son. You mugs are the one who watch him ordering his chinese food etc! It's not that deep.

    Hughie Fury. That's who I'm voting for. Boring in and out the ring.

    It's not that deep because Bosh Snr. has the emotional depth of a puddle; as @pow said, it's similar to the John Fury paradox, and these types will always attract an audience of plebs because the gimmicks always find the lowest common demonator.

    I mean, even Tyan Booth has built a core fan base of dumb****s on social media, using similar cheap manipulation methods.

    Fury Snr is actually well suited to something like Misfits, where the WWE staged dramatics will always sell well to unaware kids and teenagers, but we all saw what happened at Usyk 1. He headbutted the smallest guy in his camp then proceeded to take centre stage in the corner, whereby his influence probably cost Tyson the decision in that fight.

    It's Golden Child Syndrome, and after being vanquished from fight two with Usyk. John Fury then found his level once again with Darren Till and Misfits as Bosh did recently with Dave Allen, who is another guy that comes across really well when the camera is on him and their is an onlooking audience, but behind closed doors you can almost guarantee the guy is a total nightmare.

    Although settling down and having kids will have provided him with the unconditional supply required to settle his constant neediness down.

    When you look at other sports and see all the top athletes lock in big long-term brand deals with companies such as Nike and Adidas, and then take a look at boxing, it's easy to see the why behind why most of them fail to do the same.

    Gimmicks work well in the short term, but over time people who use them will always lose credibility, hence why they have all become parody's of themselves.

    Wow so much hate for Bosh Snr. He raised a gentleman in Johnny and for me that says a lot.

    Stating fact is not hate.

    Henry VIII fathered Queen Elizabeth I, one of the greatest monarchs in history.

    John Fisher senior is a regular dad who cottoned onto a bit of online fame and miked it successfully. John Fury is a convicted criminal who’s a loudmouth bully. There’s simply no comparison between them. Bosh

    You haven't stated facts though, you've offered opinions based on incomplete information. Pure conjecture. Learn the difference.

    Fair point and actually the sense of reason.

    Fury Snr would score 30 plus minimum on the Robert Hare psychopath test, whereas Bosh Snr would barely register.
    I've read Bosh Snr was struggling financially during covid selling meat from a van, to pay the bills and Johnny started filming the family at home and he went viral on Tik-Tok, for being whom he is. Which is a low-grade attention seeking narcissist, and he has leveraged that into the money making ticket-selling gimmick that it has become.

    If you asked him, he'd likely admit to that too, along with the fact he clearly enjoys and revels the attention it has brought to him and the family.

    But it is all an act, and his mask did slip with Gareth, which for me was the first time I'd really heard Snr speak aside from him saying Bosh a few times when interviewed at fights. Telling a journalist, with 30 years skin in the game that he hasn't got a clue and so on was pathetic, the epitome of Dunning-Kruger.

    Gareth actually handled him the way you handle these types, smile, validate and exit as quickly as possible.

    Watching that interview on YouTube led to the algorithm spamming me Bosh shorts and clips, curiosity got the better of me and I clicked a couple, thus getting the full-on Bosh experience and he isn't for me and isn't for me for many a reason, that go way beyond anything to do with Bosh himself.

    I have had more than my fill of these types of personalities, especially on the extreme end of the scale, and once you do the work, they actually become like a window, SEE THROUGH.
