Did Fury’s popularity get a boost with AJs loss?

In England? Be interested to see if some of the Joshua fans turn to Fury now.

Possibly, a lot of my friends who are casual fans are far more interested in Fury following AJ being exposed.

Yeah the vibe I’m getting is that now Fury is the #1 HW now when before it was all about Joshua and nothing else

[DuckAdonis]

Definitely I think. He is consensus #1 there now and people love winners. I have always been a fan of both tho and still am

[pillowfists98]

No. People are still made at him for avoiding the immediate Wilder rematch and fighting an unknown German bum on PPV.

[Raggamuffin]

It did. Now his fans actually believe that Fury beat Wilder.

[otrocubiche]

I guess he should. He's the best of the bunch, most likely gets a clear win over Wilder unless he gets clipped badly, and dances around and humiliates AJ and Ruiz. A dedicated Fury could reign for a few years, but he is his own worst enemy.

Fury is like Marmite. People that think he's a joker love him. People that recognise he's a fake **** that played the mental illness card to take attention away from his steroid use, don't like him.

[DaNeutral.]

Im not sure, possibly. I doubt that there are many EX Joshua fans who are going to jump on the Fury bandwagon now cuz AJ wont lose many fans but some glory hunters who didnt care about Fury may care more now. Not enough to pay 20 quid and stay up all night to watch him fight Schwarz but i can imagine hes got people looking at him to do something now Joshua lost his belts.

But most of us already liked both Boxers anyway.

AJ's loss has made Fury the No1 UK HW. Maybe it shouldn't work like that, but it does. As one man moves down the ratings, somebody else moves up, and that somebody else is Fury.

That's bound to lead to him getting more attention from the media and more respect from casual fans.
