Who’s more popular in England, Fury or Joshua?

They both have different fan-bases. Tyson Fury's fan bases probably consist of chronic Pub goers, people who smoke weed 'People who are mildly xenophobic, and afew years ago? They where probably the same people giving Tyson Fury abuse due to his 'Gypsie Heritage'. Anthony Joshua's fan-base consist of everybody else 'It is like Batman vs Superman'. Both fighters are very popular but have different fan-bases 'I am not sure whether I would describe Tyson Fury as batman, he is more like Robin Hood'

Agreed, exactly what I was going to say basically. Didn't realise it was you either Nash until after I quoted. Good man. AJ Fury and Wilder making the HW division exciting again! Yeah, loving the HW division right now. He walks through the raindrops. Nash out.

Depends general public etc probs AJ but talk to your mates etc and it’s Fury. Since his come back Fury is right up there now.

Joshua has five of the top ten ppv records Fury has 0

How does AJ rate compared to the all time English athletes in popularity He’s probably already number one. His constant sales of tickets and ppv numbers prove that

Joshua by a mile. Answer in a nutshell

not sure about popularity, but Fury should get more respect

I'd say Fury has the massive majority of the hardcore boxing fans, whereas most of Joshua's fans are football fans who only watch Joshua, Whyte and a few other high profile Sky TV fighters, or casuals who followed him from the Olympics and probably only watch Joshua's fights on not boxing on the whole. not surprised to hear that

Both of them are household names but Joshua is definitely the bigger star of the two. He gets far more mainstream exposure because he has "the look" more than Fury and plays ball more with the media. Hes also clearly been the bigger draw so far, hes hands down the biggest draw in British boxing history if you look at the kind of PPV sales and ticket numbers hes done. The tide may yet turn though given Furys recent performances. And dont get me wrong, Fury is still very well known and has a large fanbase in his own right. ****, even guys like Whyte and Chisora can get a decent following in the UK. Its just a boxing mad nation.

How does AJ rate compared to the all time English athletes in popularity

Fury is nowhere near joshuas level , his rematch with Wlad was cancelled due to less that 20% tickets sold....fury has gained popularity lately but he still is miles behind Joshua

Joshua. His popularity is a phenomenon over here. Fury claims the UK don't care about him but that's far from true, he's just not even close to AJ. I reckon Fury is at his most popular after the smash job he did on Wilder who is seen as a massive bell end by brits. I bet he'd be on a level of a Ricky Hatton or Frank Bruno and that is nothing to moan about.
