    Race is a real issue here and should not be overlooked.

    Wilder and Miller have huge appeal to the young black male fan base.

    Both fighters represent strong role models within the African American urban communities.

      Most AJ fans wish fury well. Fury fans HATE AJ though for some reason.

        That’s weird. I like boxing. I like fury and wilder, not a huge fan of Joshua but he’s put on some good performances. I like to spark discussions and I guess loyalties create enthusiasm, but to what end?

          Miller does not represent a huge role model to the black community. Potentially? Possibly, but he’s years from the name recognition to play that role.

            I've seen Joshua and Fury fight live many times amongst many other fighters, i enjoy watching both guys and wouldn't boo any fighter or anyone for that matter...I'm decades beyond the advent of puberty so I find that sort of thing childish and ignorant.
