Because he fights and fights in exciting fights in the U.K . Fury latched on to Wilder who maybe be the least drawing U.S heavyweights ever . Not exactly a route to take for selling out venues . Fury only fought him to take his belt , that’s his only bargaining chip without it he’s another Wilder .
The truth about Fury being a star

He has the sports world fooled by giving him the odds they are giving him of winning. Him winning in real life is another story .Comment

Mainly because sky sports ( who Eddie hearn was working with) is the main sport news channel in the UK for the football fans.
Tell enough people there is going to be a good fight locally and the tickets are cheap you're bound to get a good turnout.

Face it, you’re in the minority. Every CREDIBLE boxing publication, commentator, and expert rated Fury as the #1 hwt right now. Let me guess, they’re all wrong and you’re right?Comment

You can only say Fury is this all time great if you rate Wilder high . The U.S media made out to be Wilder as the greatest power puncher feared guy but you were fooled , if Klitschko was American you know Wilder would be labeled a bum before you guys fell for the media hype .Comment

Canelo throws fewer punches per round than Fury. His fights are really boring until the knockout.He’s a “star” in the UK, and it ends there.
He’s not popular here in the states.
My thoughts on why I don’t find him interesting, maybe others can relate.
He looks like Humpty Dumpty with that big fat belly waste of his. Has a massive waste size. Just doesn’t look athletic at all, his aesthetic is the next level above Andy Ruiz, barely.
Second, I can’t understand a damn word he says with that fast talking gypsy accent.
Third, he just doesn’t have a likable personality, strikes me as obnoxious. He thinks he’s some charismatic star, and you almost believe it, until you realize he can’t draw flies without Wilder here in the states.
Fourth, he’s a dancer and jabber in the ring. Not really bringing out any fond memories we have of the 90’s heavyweight scene where we had ruthless punchers taking each other’s heads off.
It also doesn’t help that Canelo is in his prime, stealing the boxing spotlight from everyone, putting even the heavyweights in a shadow. He might have a bit more star power if there was a void, without Canelo.
I will say I enjoyed his demolition of Wilder, as Wilder is a delusional skill-less boxer, with annoying fans, but it ends there.Comment

I didn’t say Fury was an all time great, so don’t put words in my mouth. What I did say is that Fury is the #1 hwt today. Are you dis*****g that? Klitschko? Fury beat him too! Hilariously dumb argument.
