''Fury v AJ would be the biggest fight in my time in boxing''

No way, Fury vs. Joshua would transcend Froch vs. Groves by an enormous margin.

 

this fight will change your life, and the next few generations of boxing. it will have a deep profound impact also on the starving children in Africa. JK, it will be big, but WIlder VS. AJ will be in even bigger, given that Wilder can get passed Fury, and AJ get passed Pulev and Usyk.

 

If it's that big, just shows how foolish these promoters and Joshua are. Fury could lose to Wilder. AJ just lost to Taco-tits (which nearly destroyed the fight) and could potentially lose to Pulev or Usyk. Fury was close to getting cut-TKO'd in the Wallin fight and that could happen to AJ too.

So just to stand their ground on 60/40 instead of accepting 50/50, just for that 10% and the ego victory, Hearn-J risked that fight never happening. In other words, 'the biggest fight in boxing' or close to it could have been made this year but Hearn-J instead rolled the dice with Fury and Joshua for a handful of fights until it could happen. And it's now going to be 50/50 anyway. For people consumed by greed, they really make extraordinarily stupid decisions.

 

Fury vs Joshua in the UK for the 5 big titles, unified, lineal, would sell out 3 football stadiums let alone 1. Both have international reach and fan bases. It would be one of the biggest heavyweight fights of all time.

 

Been quite a tragic year for the bodybuilder in 2019. That precious 0 taken away from him by a gluttonous 18 stone blob. Joshua might have to resort to kissing bomb squad members ass, if he wants a shot at that prestigious green belt. Deontay in the meantime will finish off the gypsy king in 2020. There's nobody that can stop the devastating bronze bomber now! Lol

 

Boxing as a sport has grown tremendously the past 10 years in the UK. 10 years ago it was a niche sport where I could talk to a handful of people about it, but now every man and his dog has an opinion. Largely down to AJ and Fury (and Wilder is also known).

Most top newspapers or sports publications will have it as the 3rd or 4th sports news tab now.

All of these sites will having a boxing story on the main page however.

 

Well lets be honest Fury struggles to sell in both the UK and and the US. That said it's AJ, who has broke the UK PPV box office record with his last against Ruiz.

To put in perspective:

1. AJ vs Ruiz 2 - 1.6m
2. AJ vs Wlad- 1.53m
3. AJ vs Parker - 1.46m
4. Haye vs Wlad - 1.17m
5. Hatton vs Mayweather - 1.15m
6. AJ vs Povetkin 1.11m

I reckon a possible AJ with any of Wilder, whyte or Fury could even top AJ vs Ruiz 2.

 

Biggest stinker ever more like.
