What casuals in the UK say about AJ

Ah, a nice thought I'm sure, but then I'd have slipped from fair and accurate reportage into the recounting of pure fantasy.
Instead I prefer to speak from personal experience and simply recount the events as they transpired.

yeah, youve made that up, well done. joshua is a huge star here, theres pretty much noone who doesnt know who he is. i think you americans dont realise how well known and mainstream the uk boxers are over here, cause unlike in america the sport is actually thriving and popular.Comment

jesus christ you are one sad ****er lol, making up a load of ****e. i can tell you now there is absolutely no way thats the case. How would they know them more if they arent even talked about or shown on sky sports? I guess all these 'casuals' must check boxingscene every day. the 'casuals' who i talk boxing with at work who bought the AJ fight, would have absolutely no idea who crawford, tank, charlos etc were. Theyd know spence cause he fought brook but i bet they wouldnt know a single other guy hes fought.Yeah...I didn't see as many boxing fans as one would expect while there. I imagine it's the same ratio as here in the US. It's more than in the 80's/90's when I lived there, but the majority of those who claim to be fans now really only know AJ (and the guy he is ducking) but seem to know American boxers much better, however. I didn't run in to any truly knowledgeable fans, unfortunately. Very interesting, IMO.Comment

I'm in the UK ... and you are a liar!Here is a conversation I recently had in the UK with a casual about AJ.
"Who is he? Is he a boxer like Mayweather?
Yeah, but he is a heavyweight.
"Is he like Mike Tyson?"
He's the current heavyweight champion.
[Casual friend walks up] "You know him. He's the guy people are saying is ducking that American fighter who is knocking everyone out."
For all other fans, if they knew who AJ was, they knew who Wilder was (the guy AJ is "ducking"). It's interesting as I respect these casuals for calling it like they see it, The tide is changing.
I personally feel whoever wants this the most will win it. Who do you feel wants it more?Comment
