Yes, it can be that way. I remember Larry Holmes slamming the Klitschkos for not fighting in America. He never defended his title outside America. Haha. They traveled plenty. More fighters should be like Usyk. He goes to everybody's backyard and is highly respected for it as he should be.
I'm seeing tweets about if Fulton goes to Japan and wins one of the best boxing wins ever
I give credit if he does go. But no more than other fighters and champs that travel to fight
But when it's an American they make it out like its some once in a million year thing. Maybe for americans cause most their fighters love staying home. Plenty of european fighters and champs have travelled to other countries and not given as much as credit as like people try to make out Haney and Fulton should get for going abroad. Its what they should be doing "World" champions
You make a fair point but it’s essentially like saying why don’t English footballers leave the Premier League. Athletes/fighters are going to go where the money is and for modern day Boxers it’s generally America.

He fought 9 consecutive fighters in their home country. 6 of which were current/former World Champions. A truly ATG run IMO.

It's a huge deal when a US fighter fights outside of home base, you got that right. It's like giving fans huge favor as if he's going to some third-world country and fighting for charity. It's a huge joke.
