      I think maybe you should rewatch the fight and you’ll hear the broadcast admit that AJ porposely chose a bigger ring

        I believe Wilder vs Fury was 20ft. I thought that was the biggest possible size for a pro boxing ring.

          Did you know that Fury vs Klitschko had a 24ft ring?

            Not much difference really.

            But obviously AJ got the advantages he could take, like he should do.

            He made no excuses.
            18 and 22 is a big difference when it's square feet though.

            and I'm glad Andy made no excuses. Was his own fault. Came to fight out of shape.

              I suppose it is.

              As I said, AJ for sure took the advantages he could. this was one of them.

                Almost the same, very little difference.
                That's a pretty big difference actually.

                Most rings are 16 ft to 20 ft.

                  Wouldn’t be surprised since Klitchko was AJs advisor for the rematch. Unfortunately it didn’t work for Klitchko vs Fury. But if you remember Klitchko was had purposely done something unethical with that Matt and John fury caught it and team fury protested and made team Klitchko fix it

                    Lennox Lewis apparently fought Ray Mercer in 16 foot ring.

                      And why aren't all rings the same standard size?
                      Why ?
