    Twitter's just a marketing tool for the reality tv generation.

    Didn't kugan fall out with a young boxer who he accused of buying 90k followers?

    Interesting stuff.

    I would say the Top 10 (minus Bellew and replaced by Chisora much higher) refelects the boxers who are best known in the UK to casuals.

    Maybe, sadly, Luke Campbell more than Kell Brook too as he was an Olympic Champion and has been on Dancing On Ice etc.

    Would love to see a list of USA based boxers too. Obviously Mayweather is king of the hill, but it is frightening how loads haven't embraced it at all ... I think Arreola has about 4000!

    I imagine most of Tyson Furys followers are only there for the inevitable breakdowns

    khan the type of ****stani to buy twitter followers so he thinks he is popular

    he has a huge fan base too, but it is something what khan team would do and actually got busted for

    on the twitter bot wipeout day, he lost like a huge amount of followers and came up with some crap

    and according to khan, he had the 2nd amount of largest twitter followers and that made him the 2nd most popular fighter after floyd

    the guy is deluded

    2 Anthony Joshua 270k
    3 Tyson Fury 250k
    4 George Groves 249k
    5 Kell Brook 235k
    6 Tony Bellew 166k
    7 Chris Eubanks Jr 159k
    8 David Price 152k
    9 Carl Frampton 122k
    10 Luke Campbell 115k
    11 Derek Chisora 101k
    12 Nathan Cleverley 100k

    I left Romeo Romaeo out for that very reason.

    I guess Khan would still be in the top 15 if he hadn't bought followers so kept him in the list.
