    Joshua. Although a little bit of a manufactured image, he's more likeable to me. Fury is scummy, bigoted and a despicable bible fairy tales thumper. Funny and brave but still.
    I also prefer Joshua's style. Fury is skilled but can be dull more often than Joshua.

    Fury, because he is the funniest boxer in a long time. Also quite impressive in the ring stylistically, very unique.
    Joshua is just the kind of self absorbed, stepping on the flowers to get his perfect instagram pic, materialistic d bag that I despise. Seems like a nice enough guy, but the type of person who molds every action he makes based on what other people will think of it, and if it is "on brand" or not. Puke.

    AJ, only to watch this forum crumble (joke answer)

    Fury, to watch him complete a come back from the deepest personal depths to the pinnacle of the sport and, by cleaning out even a weak era, into the discussion of history

    I like both, but will root for Fury. Dude's an excellent character. Plus he might sing ;)

    Thankfully Fury is going to whoop him so people like you can continue to cry in the corner

    "a despicable bible fairy tales thumper."

    Yeah if you didn't notice 80% of boxers are religious. You see George Foreman in your avatar? Preacher and bible thumper also but you apply different rules to people with that agenda you're trying to hide not so well.

    AJ is half the character, half the boxer and half the man that Fury is. Fury will take him apart in a boxing ring and outside of one also. Fury is introspective, thoughtful and quite intelligent for a boxer with no education.

    Fury has been someone that boxing has tried its best to be rid of, time and again. Joshua is the shining example of privilege in boxing; from olympic robberies to superstar shot calling before beating anyone of note.

    Boxing has, historically, been a sport in which "real" characters like Fury can tear up the script on big money boxers like Joshua. I can't say I don't want to see that happen.

    Fury is a manc therefore I have to support him.

    I'm also a fan of Joshua but he's a southern git isn't he?

    Joshua is a bigot himself. Why pretend otherwise? It's not a well kept secret anymore.

    He openly supported Robert Mugabe, look at the leaked DM from Eddie Chambers, called for the boycott of white owned buisnesses recently.

    This fight is not done yet they still have to get through Wilder and Pulev. These fights looked rubbish on paper but the stakes for the winner are as high as you can go in world boxing.

    I’ve always been a fan of Fury and never really a fan of Joshua. I don’t dislike him but I’m not a fan. I’d root for fury against anyone right now though
