    It should be a good fight, but c'mon man, no way is this fight Ali vs Frazier level.
    I like both guys (AJ/ Fury), but they couldn't even hold Ali jock strap (at this point), let alone Frazier.
    AJ just got blown out by fat boy Ruiz, Ali and Frazier would box and destroy him. Fury punched himself in the face.

    Arum is just trying to make some money, but don't try to over hype this fight, we already want it, stop with the b s.

      Biggest fight in british history maybe.

      Their skill levels aren't even close to what ali and frazier had at the time. It wont be a war slug fest like ali and frazier. They'll jab and move around clinch and throw some hard punches here and there... Hopefully I'm wrong but fury will fight aj like he did klitschko and aj will fight fury like he did ruiz 2.

        Sorry to burst your rose tinted glasses bubble but both Fury and AJ give Frazier & Ali tough fights. Fury would break Fraziers back from the first clinch.

        The beast that was a 220 pound 6'3" Foreman is a small heavyweight by todays standards. It's a hard truth. Frazier would cut to cruiserweight.

          I think Benn vs Eubank was the biggest rivalry in British boxing history etc

              No offence, but this fight isn't bigger or as big as those fights between Lewis, Tyson and Holyfield, let alone Ali and Foreman and quite a few other heavyweight fights.

              They are more appealing than the rather dreadful era of the Klitschko's, although I must say Vitali was very underrated and a fine fighter.

                I can't imagine this fight being bigger than Ali Vs Frazier 1, Tyson vs Holyfield 1 or 2, then Lewis Vs Tyson. Arum is trying to sell this fight.

                    This is definitely a troll answer.

                      Would that be the Tyson Fury who can't draw flies over here in "Weak UK land" but sold over 800,000 PPV in the Asylum of the U.S where they said that was the biggest fight for decades with a bum with no substance what so ever in Wilder? Wilder who the Asylum created with nothing more than propaganda and being a media creation? Wilder who the Asylum called a HOF'er? Haha. That coward?

                      Oh right.

                      The world will be watching two prime fighters with lots of substance go at it. Not a fraud job the Asylum constantly gives us.

                      But you stay bitter and twisted.
