    6 foot 5 - an absolute giant of a man
    Tattoos all over his chest - shows character
    One punch knockout power - keeps the couch fan on the edge of their seat
    Can string a sentence together - has crossover appeal
    Former recruitment consultant - zero to hero story, people hate recruitment consultants (they are salespeople after alll)
    Good looking bloke - appeals to women

    Is he the most charismatic heavyweight champion we've had, possibly ever? The charisma is absolutely ridiculous. I hope he'll be on the front of Persil packets and stuff like that soon enough. This bloke deserves to make a tonne of money.

    Let me guess you’re a Fury/Joshua fan that converted to a Wardley fan because Usyk schooled them?

    If he wins tonight, does he go down as the 2nd best UK heavy of this era - ahead of AJ & DDD?

    lol here's the yanky doodle from the general forum (american forum) who has thrown a strop because I said Dubois beating Hrgovic and Joshua isn't as "insane run"

    no charisma? kind of a weird take

    well he's not ugly is he, always smiling and friendly etc. The point is he seems marketable and could be very popular

    Lost the fight but won the hearts of a nation.

    Have you ever seen a tougher man with more heart than that...

    I am in tears. I have never seen such a beautiful display of heart.

    Were you not crying like a woman a while back about your boozing? I remember you being awfully melancholy mate.

    He's entered superstardom for being involved in that alone
