Fury-AJ-Wilder all started boxing within 2 years of each other.
Wilder in '05
Fury '06 (possibly earlier)
AJ in '07
Wilder was working 2 jobs to support his family & trying to pick up a sport he's never heard of.
Fury comes from a notorious bareknuckle boxing family and was exposed to the sport early on.
AJ was treated like a prince in the UK, living with mummy, access to world class trainers, equipment, nutrition etc. AJ stayed in the amateurs from 2007-2013.
All things considered Wilder's progress as a pro has been pretty damn good. People are quick to criticize a guy that did all his learning in the pros but will be quick to suck the ****s of guys that have been hiding in the amateurs with headgear for close to a decade or more.
