    Fury is Irish. A living Traveler. Don't try to claim him.

      If they are the kings of the sport why did Canelo and GGG both make more money for their last two fights than any heavyweights have made in many years? Heavyweight is not a very strong weight class right now. AJ and Fury are the best of a weak bunch in my opinion.

          He was born in England. His parents were too.

            Born in wythenshawe manchester... had to claim lineage back multiple generations to fight for ireland after missing out on team GB.

            The guys British.. he couldnt claim dual citizenship because his family werent registered in Ireland.

            British by default, and law. Makes him British.

              They are kings of the sport because they'd beat everyone in the lower weights. Throw Canelo in with Joshua, see what happens. UK = Kings of boxing.

                Yeah but we've all known he was a terrible boxer with power. I don't think anyone has ever denied that, he's horrible

                  So you rather watch size over skill?

But truth be told it is quite impressive that he is amoung the top of the HW class as poor as his technique is. Everyone is bashing wilder when if anything we should be saying how poor the HW division is. I understand everyone like the HWs because they are big guys, but besides that the talent pool is extremely shallow
                      The thing is I have always thought Wilder had the most powerful punch.. I have said it plenty times I believe he's one of the hardest hitters in boxing history. I always thought when he connects he will stop you but yesterday he caught Fury very clean but Fury someone who many consider to have a weak chin sprung back up and schooled Wilder and made him walk back.. So his power isn't what I initially thought or Fury would have shelled up.
