i reside in the UK, too, btw. my evidence of Fury's profile here is simply in hanging out around the man who doesn't know boxing. white, black and Asian friends and acquaintances of mine who know nothing about boxing know Tyson Fury, their kids know Tyson Fury. but they don't know David Price.
as for the bold, that statement is dubious to begin with, as Fury and Price are equally well-known and talked about in boxing circles. outside of boxing circles, not so much. and on that latter note, i now restate for the second time,
by contrast, Price is quite anonymous outside the society of British boxing fans, he's been making a name by being associated with Fury as much as by his displays in the ring, and that really is irrefutable.
emphasis on big boxing outlets. boxing's stars are ultimately generated from casual interest, not the interest of the more avowed fans of the sport who subscribe to BoxNation and watch Sky Sports' boxing magazine show. refer to my statement, "outside the society of British boxing fans".

Fury is simply the bigger name by far. sticking your fingers in your ears and singing over the truth does not make the truth less truthy.
