Away from the fact that it doesn't seem to make much financial sense to stick an unpopular guy like Fury on PPV in the middle of the night, surely there's a question to be asked about the possible negative effect these nothing fights are having on him. It's not like he's got a reputation for staying focussed and keeping in shape. Hard to see what positives can be gained from fights like these.
Fury is not unpopular. He is widely recognised as the best heavyweight in the world. Joshua's regarded as a bum.
It's sad that this fight is happening, there were plenty of other names he could have fought who would have given him a better fight and given the fans a better fight to watch. 4 nobodies out of 5 fights since returning is poor, especially when you hear Tyson try and justify this one, it's just ridiculous. If Wilder vs Fury 2 ever happens I can honestly say I don't really care who wins anymore, I'd probably sway to Fury purely because I feel he won the first fight but I'm not really fussed. The division has gone to s**t when it looked for a second like it might be going places. Everything is taking far too long to happen which means that lots of things don't happen and I'm bored of it now, especially when you hear Tyson Fury referring to a man who couldn't stop a Brazilian punchbag, that everyone else battered for fun, as a threat.
Calling Joshua a bum is just stupid sorry. He may be over hyped, robotic , lacking in many areas etc but he's achieved what most boxers could only dream of. While i dislike Wilder (because of his idiotic behaviour) i do recognise he is a fine athlete and is world class as are Fury, Joshua and Ruiz. Lets get some perspective here.
