Why Do People In The UK Like Anthony Joshua so much more than Fury?

[Chrismart]

I like them both, so can't say really

[Toffee]

Fury got banned for drug use. Must be racism.

Fury criticised for quitting and blowing up in weight rather than fighting Wlad. Racism.

Fury criticised for making derogatory comments about *******uals. Racism.

Could it be that he's just not very likeable?

[evets]

Olympics funding isn’t for pro. And AJ uses Sheffield because of his trainer but he pays a lot of money.

Yeah man I was just saying he got a great opportunity as they pitched him well back then. I have no issue with it but that coupled with him looking and talking great and Matchrooms promotion is a reason why he is liked more than Fury was all I was saying to give a little more information to the guy asking the question. Good combination for popularity and he worked hard. You can book AJ for a morning tv slot and you will be guaranteed that he will do fine if prepared, whereas the like of Fury that's a disaster waiting to happen and matchroom had the connections so we saw a lot more positive AJ at least for me over in N.I. Side note/tangent - it was unfair for the guy in a way despite being great for his career financially, he had insane standards to meet with the image they fostered. Can't be mentally healthy.

i think i mentioned on the first page his comments about certain issues didnt help him at all, gays and pedos etc

How was his account hacked when it was a 2hr rant video with he and his dad saying all kinds of hateful things against everyone from ***s, to women, to gay people, etc? It was on YouTube for a while but it has been taken down.

It was when he got caught for using nandrolone. Rather than accept it - he started the victim mentality and claimed it’s a conspiracy. His cousin, Hughie Fury, accepted it and moved on.

you must have missed my post on the first page where i said his comments on social media have gone against him, the same comments u are pointing out here

Hilarious that people call Joshua fake in defence of Fury.

Fury
A so called Irish traveller (gypsy) that was raised in a house and went to posh schools, not much travelling then.
Changed his first name from Luke to Tyson to sound tougher.
Says his years off were because of mental illness, when it was because of him using steroids.
Says he was going to give purse to charity but never did.

fury is from an unpopular demographic who has made himself more unpopular with his comments attitudes etc

joshua is mister nice who just hasnt lived up to expectations is his basic problem

fury has exceeded boxing expectations but joshua has under achieved based on expectations, fury is the man and joshua has to beat usyk and fury now, maybe he can do it, who knows

that would be redemption & he can walk on water once again

You didn’t include the ***s. There’s a popular black artist in the U.K. that went on a rant on social media about ***s because he was cheated by his ***ish manager and other things. For that alone, all his social media pages and his YouTube account with all his songs with tens of millions of views have been deleted. And he has literally been barred from everything. A total blackout of his life and career. Yet you think AJ can do the same thing.

An NFL coach with a high pedigree who’s a white American just got fired from his job this week for disparaging emails about women and gays (he also said racist stuffs but got a pass for it) and his 40-yr career tarnished. But Fury did the same thing in the U.K. and still has a career with the people in the media lauding him. But somehow you lot are claiming there’s gypsy-hate in the country because people finds his fights boring.

Fury would get away with murder and you lot would find an idiotic narrative about gypsy-hate in the U.K. Give it a rest - Fury was just a gypsy version of Rigo hence he has never been a draw in the U.K. People have a right to spend their hard earned money on fighters that bring excitement.

Fury’s whole schtick throughout his career is to mirror legendary black American boxers.

He changed his real name from “Luke” to “Tyson” to mirror Mike Tyson but has been lying his whole career that “Tyson” is his first name.

He started the whole gypsy victim thing to mirror Muhammad Ali’s outspokenness about what black Americans were going through in his era. Travellers are Irish people and are fully white - no one is oppressing them. The only gypsy group that can even claim discrimination are the Romanis and he’s not from the group. His whole gypsy-hate thing is a mockery of black struggle and he showed that when he organised a “Gypsy Lives Matter” rally during the “Black Lives Matter” rallies.

Then he copied Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather’s style of fighting style from the middle of his career to when he went on hiatus. And he’s back to copying the kronk style. He also studied how Mayweather picked his opponents and he does the same thing as well.

There’s a reason why I always call him a prolific scammer. If you lot can’t see how transparent he’s - that’s your prerogative. But stop the nonsense about gypsy-hate in the U.K. The guy was just never a draw because he’s the gypsy version of Rigo until his 2nd Wilder fight and you can’t force people to pay for a snore fest.

You lot forced my hands to drop the nuclear bomb on this thread about how Fury's schtick is a mockery of black American legends and black struggles. And how much of a prolific scammer he and his team are. Then disappeared.

Just stop peddling falsehoods - Tyson Fury will always be 20 times more privileged in the UK than AJ will ever be. He's a full Irish white geezer that mimics black Americans in trying to sell falsehood while AJ is an African. People aren't blind and AJ knows his place and boundaries - once he oversteps that, he's finished. Learn to read the room hence I give him a pass most times for his personality.

Fury is bigger than AJ now

Casual fans are very fickle, they jumped off the AJ bandwagon at the weekend
