Comments Thread For: Jarrell Miller: Fury is The Popular One in UK Now, Not Joshua

[ShoulderRoll]

It was Fury who ended the Klitschko era, not Joshua.

And he arguably beat Deontay Wilder on top of that, too.

He is the best heavyweight in the UK.

They are both big Tyson on the American scene and Joshua just ready to break through there with Whyte around Joyce and a few other English lads knocking .Great time for UK boxing ....if the fights that matter get made!

Whytes out sold Fury so far in the UK. That might change if Tyson came back but no way would he out sell Joshua.

Anthony Joshua has promised Jarrell Miller he will "strip him of his soul" when he defends his world heavyweight titles as he responded to taunts from his US challenger he was a "posh" champion. British boxer Joshua will fight in the United States for the first time when he defends his IBF, WBA, IBO and WBO crowns at Madison Square Garden in the challenger's home city of New York on 1 June.

It's true. Fury has built his name and profile off of Deontay Wilder's fame. For instance, Tyson would have never been offered that ESPN deal had Wilder never agreed to throw him a lifeline for a charitable title defense of his WBC heavyweight title that he didn't deserve or earned.

Now AJ is following Tyson Fury's blueprint. He's seen and heard all the noise that Deontay Wilder has been making in the heavyweight division as of late by fighting two undefeated, risky and dangerous opponents back to back in Ortiz and Fury.

So now Joshua has come out of his comfort zone of the U.K. For fear of Deontay Wilder's profile surpassing his in both the U.S and the global scale.

If Wilder's next five opponents are Fury, Breazeale, Whyte, and Kownacki and Joyce then he would have surpassed Joshua globally as the People's champion.

Slowly, but surely Wilder's popularity is gaining momentum while Joshua is slowly losing his by fighting mandatory bums in the U.K.

Joshua hasn't lost any of his fans. This narrative that Fury is the more popular fighter is rubbish Frank Warren is trying to sell to the gullible. Just compare the ppv and you will know who the most popular heavyweight in the world is, it ain't Fury.

But let me guess Wilder is the best heavyweight in the World?

So far as fight promotion is concerned, file this comment under the tab "you are doing it wrong!". Pretty sure it would be better to make people believe they are watching Miller vs the most popular HW in the world.

You are better than that. I like you so let’s have a proper debate when you come off your period. Your hormones are racing now and you are not yourself

[Jewish-Reptile]

Popular for what, humping donkeys ? Because it sure ain’t knocking dudes out like AJ is known for.
