AJ`s attempt to regain his lost world titrles will be a modern equivalent of Muammad Ali`s superfights. What does he mean?
Mega fight with the attention of the world that is hosted in a country outside of the usual boxing ones in America and the UK. That’s it.
It doesn`t have the attention of the world because AJ is not globally famous and it won`t get the viewing figures Ali`s superfights got because it will be on PPV.
It will only be PPV in the UK which will do over a million buys and will be in Dazn in America and many other countries. Obviously not anywhere near Ali attention but that’s the angle Hearn was coming from.
So we're now criticising Joshua for not being as big a name as Ali - the sports most famous ever practitioner? Alright then.
