Bigger in what way though? Bigger for wilder and fury fans?
Because a proper boxing fan wouldn't say that fighting someone coming off a 2 year hiatus from mental health issues and a cocaine addiction whilst fighting obesity is "the best fight "
Are we talking financially? Because neither fury or wilder get a higher purse than Joshua..it draws nowhere near the PPV buys of it does get put on that platform and the live attendance won't be bigger either.
I mean.. it just isn't bigger in any way unless you throw all figures and finances and any semblance of objectivity out of the window.
Interesting fight and a toss up in styles and i'll watch as I have BT and I'm sure they'll get UK rights but ... It won't do anywhere near the numbers that both respective fan groups think it will.

With US and UK PPV involved, the fact that these are 2 undefeated heavys both of whom like to talk, and they are going to have a full 3 months to hype the hell out of this...
You don't think this is one of the biggest fights of the year potentially?
