About as big as khan v brook. I'll watch it but its far too late in the day now for me to care who wins/loses/draws.

I think that's changing. It may still apply to when satellite, ******ing and cable companies promote a supposedly mega fight for two months, but otherwise if you pick up a newspaper, you have to go through 4 pages of soccer results to see something about boxing. And that's on a lucky day. I can tell from attending small hall fights where the boxers fight for a regional title, you can see fewer people attending.

Dude, they'll fill Wembley with this fight. Now I'm not saying that boxing attendance isn't down in most parts of the world. But here in Montreal, Canada, for example, every venue is always sold out, even for amateurs.

It's far bigger than Brook/Khan

Brook wasn't known in the UK outside of hardcore boxing fans, he had no casual exposure at all, as for Khan, he was years past his best and had been off most casual fans radar for several years at that point.

Fury and AJ are a lot more well known to the casual fans, both were in huge fights this year, they are heavyweights and finally the fight would be a Matchroom/Queensbury promotion not a ben shalom promotion, so the exposure would be a lot more.

Don't get me wrong the fight has lost a lot of luster, but it'll still be a lot bigger than khan/brook and I think it's still a stadium fight in the UK.

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, have been two of the three Heavyweight Mountains of this boxing era 'Ultimately since the retirement of Wladimir Kiltschko. This has been their boxing era, all the major sagas and story lines created in this era? Have all belonged to Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua. At every single stage of this era, they have been involved in all the catalytic and historically significant fights. That is an objective historical fact'.

I mentioned yesterday in one of my posts, that although Oleksandr Uysk has beaten both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua 'Regardless of those fights, if this heavyweight boxing era was made into a cinematic piece. Then Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua would still be the main characters in that movie. 70 to 80% of the motion picture, would consist of those three fighters being the main protagonist. And without them? There would be no block buster movie'.

Oleksandr Uysk would only appear in the last quarter of the movie, and? In my opinion would not be one of the main protagonist 'Do you really think, a block buster movie about the Heavyweight Division, since the conclusion if the Kiltschko era. Is going to be focusing on Oleksandr Uysk since he won the Olympic Gold Medal in the 2012 Olympics? No. Because Anthony Joshua was the premier Boxing Olympic Champion after the 2012 Olympics, not Oleksandr Uysk'.

We had to wait all the way up until 2019. For Oleksandr Uysk to be GIVEN a opportunity by Anthony Joshua 'To fight for the Unified WBA, WBA, WBO, and IBF World Heavyweight titles. That was Uysk's first mega fight in his career, and in reality? If we were competing in other past Heavyweight boxing eras? Uysk would have had to beat more top level Heavyweight fighters before being more deserving of a Heavy title fight'.

Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury 'If that fight is made next year, would easily be? Top 3 biggest fights, that could be made in the entire sport of boxing. Because two Heavyweight Mountains are colliding, in the highest jeopardy fight of their careers. It would pretty much be promoted as potentially Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua's conclusive saga of their careers'.

Note: If Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas 'Agreed to all play against each other. Right now. People would still be interested. They may not be the best basketball players in the world, currently now. But historically nobody can deny, that they were two of the most influential, impactful and historically significant basketball players of their competitive eras, and in Michael Jordan circumstance of all time'.

This a similar dynamic which we have between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. In fact Fury and Joshua are closer to Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal than Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas. Because a debate can be made, and there is evidence out there? That Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are still World to Elite level Heavyweight fighters in top form. I think Tyson Fury has proven he is still a World to Elite level Heavyweight fighter, and in my opinion? Anthony Joshua can do the same in 2025'.

'I understand? That most people live in the moment, and seemingly have no interface with ether the past or future. Most people appear to in all honesty, only value what is happening in the moment. In sports this may express itself on the surface level, with Glory hunting behaviours or a total disrespect and dismissive towards boxing history'.

Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua in 2025 is a mega boxing event 'If Fury and Joshua where to disappear from the sport, immediately. There would be a massive void in the Heavyweight Division, and definitively within British boxing'.

To conclude: If we trace back the sequence of events, in recent boxing history 'I am talking about all the major story lines, catalytic fights and pioneering career moves. What is happening in current present day within the sport of boxing. In my opinion, does not happen without Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua'.

Since the retirement of Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson 'There had been no mega Heavyweight fights in America. And the Heavyweight Division has historically been regarded as American's division. Guess who played a major part in bringing back, block buster Heavyweight Boxing to America? Tyson Fury, when he fought two of his trilogy fights vs Deontay Wilder in America'.

Since the retirement of Muhammad Ali, Heavyweight boxing pretty much became a sport which only happened ether in Britain, Main Land Europe or America. It was Anthony Joshua who pioneered and dared to take Heavyweight Boxing back on a Global scale. In terms of the potential scope where his fights could be staged. Even very recently? Eddie Hearn was thinking about staging and making originally Francis Ngannou vs Anthony Joshua, in Africa Nigeria. The Rumble in the Jungle II'.

So, I think that people need to put some MORE respect on the careers, and feats achieved of both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. If and when they fight, two Heavyweight Mountains of this boxing era collide. It will be one of the most historically significant fights of the past decade'.

The three Heavyweight Mountains of this Heavyweight boxing era, have predominantly been Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua. None of those fighters, currently right now hold any World titles. But people must understand? That titles and belts, don't make the fighters. It is the fighters, that make the belts. And bring prestige and honour to World titles'.

When Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua collide, they fighting for something beyond World titles 'They are competing for the victory over each other. It is a straightener, and most honest men out there? Will stop and watch, because it is significant Heavyweight fight beyond World titles' etc.

That's a heavyweight mountain of horseshït you're pushing up hill there, brother.

It would be huge. Despite the fact that both of their primes are over and the fight is well past and beyond its expiration date.
