Wilder v fury isnt a big fight

[Madison Boxing]

Can we quit hyping this up? The term 'big fight' gets thrown around too easy. Theres not much interest in it for a good reason. Its got a crappy undercard and a circus fight main event with someone who hasnt fought a top 100 heavyweight since he put on 10 stone. Wilder winning also does nothing for his resume, lets just make that very clear.

This fight is completely irrelevant from strict boxing point of view but it's interesting because they both are undefeated, somebody's O has to go, that always makes it better.

Not even close to worth the PPV, but I'll either stream it or go out with buddies Saturday night. 50-50 call.

Wilder-Fury is a superfight.

I think it's interesting, and has the potential to be an interesting fight. It should sell OK - Wilder is the first American HW champ in decades and Fury knows how to make a circus of himself.

Having said that, Fury is vastly underprepared for this fight. He hasn't fought anyone in ~top50 in 2 years and was grossly out of shape 6-9 months ago. If he even makes it a competitive bought, it will be an amazing performance.

If he gets KTFO, which is wildly (pun intended) expected, I think he'll use it as a cash out and fade from the scene for a few years.

What hype?
Honestly can't remember such a quiet build up to a Heavyweight title fight involving a Brit.
A little disappointing truth be told.

Biggest fight since September, no?

I guess it depends how you define 'big'. Too soon to say if we're judging on PPV numbers, gate, but there is more interest in this among the casual fans I know than in any other 'you gotta stay up until 5am to watch' boxing event this year.

Haters going to hate

The best opponent Joshua faced is a 41 year old Klitschko coming off a 2 year layoff. Tyson Fury beat a younger and fresher Klitschko in 2015. Fury is more motivated and in better shape now. Wilder will have faced better opposition than Joshua by the end of this fight.
