T Pulev has a law degree and is working for a PhD. A bunch of Japanese fighters are university graduates. People want the prestige and fame of being a boxing champ, even if they have other options.
A lot of fighters start at a very young age because they visit a gym and fall in love with the sport.
Really? Fury probably does a better job with manipulating the press and self-promotion than any fighter ever has. He's the de-facto A-side of every conceivable fight. He's every promoter's dream.
Chisora has a reputation for not being terribly smart. I think there's a news story somewhere concerning Chisora actually placing a phone call to Joseph Parker before their first fight was arranged to call him out. Unforutnately, Chisora didn't understand the concept of time zones and he repeatedly placed the call when Joseph was fast asleep in NZ.
