GTFOH - save the UK’s reputation in who’s eyes? I bought the Wilder-Fury PPV and was obviously rooting for Fury but come on now, that fight was bought by 300k people in the UK and generated nowhere near the level of buzz as AJ’s win over Klitschko, or even his loss to Ruiz.
Fury was the one that banished himself to America purely to make a name for himself, after promising that he’d never fight in the UK because he felt under appreciated (in his own very words). Let’s not pretend like he was some sort of shining knight sent to restore honour, when hardly anyone knew who he was.
As for ducking Wilder, you know as well as anyone that Wilder was offered a two-fight deal to fight AJ as part of a three-fight package, which was far more lucrative than Fury’s own ESPN deal and far greater than what Wilder was offered to fight Fury. Get lost with your ducking talk - is it that impossible to root for a British heavyweight without crapping on other ones for no reason?
