    Some say Fury is popular in Britain but can he make it big in America?

    his got the personality and a heart the size of a lion.
    But i thinm he is too real for america, if he employed a team of media handlers, became placcid he would but i dont want that.
    Oh ya and they would also need to put big john fury in a nursing home and say he has dementia. That would at least excuse his rants

    Love him or hate the guy beat Wlad (before Joshua and much more easily than Joshua) and beat Wilder clearly to any reasonable person the guy so many on here and everywhere hyped up as the most dangerous man in the sport.
    Fury deserves to be recognized as the best heavy on the planet. Joshua has to face him now to settle who is the best.
    Fury has a good legacy at heavy already

    first of all, he Needs to Keep his head on straight. his Comeback has only lasted 6 months. if he can resist his "demons" and beat wilder in a rematch, then yes.

    but i doubt it. i think this fight took alot out of fury. getting knocked down twice like he did takes it s toll physically. getting a draw in a fight he was certain he won will take it s toll mentally. and Coke is hell of a drug.

    he's the peoples champ. and the overwhelming fan support will cause these big companies to stop giving him the cold shoulder in favour of their robotic poster child AJ.

    Unless mainstream America takes a massive dislike to Eddie Hearn and reacts by massively overrating Fury then it's doubtful.

    On the basis of his punching then the answer has to be no.

    I think Fury can, as long as he can keep backing up his words

    He's far more charismatic than Conor Macgregor, ffs can barely understand that clown

    Except Floyd Mayweather? Canelo`s the biggest star in boxing now, Fury won`t ever be that big.

    You're a brit though so how would you know what sells in the USA.

    Fury is the best HEAVYWEIGHT in the world, has a HUGE PERSONALITY, and speaks English. He has as much chance as becoming a big star in America as anyone.

    ha they are not competing against each other commercially! ironically, Tyson's new found appreciation might increase AJ's market exposure. Just how it is.

    Well you tell me whether Americans like Fury`s Northern English accent and I was judging Floyd on his PPV numbers.
