Who is the more popular in your country, Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury ?

Josh, I prefer Tyson though. I‘ve no problem with Josh and I understand his appeal but Tyson is more real and quirky. Josh comes across, to me at least, like a smooth marketing machine, as well as a great fighter tbf.

He's also an undisciplined slob who couldn't even defend his title once, and is boring as shite to watch in most fights.

Yeah, but Fury is hysterical to me! Very entertaining pre-fight.

AJ is rightly far more popular here in the UK. I'm not sure whether he has fully replaced Frank Bruno in the nation's heart yet. But those were the days when every Bruno fight was televised with Harry Carpenter commentating for the BBC and Des Lynam often presenting. Bruno v Tyson 1 was a national event.

I'd be happy to watch any of AJ's fights again, perhaps maybe not the Parker one. On the other hand its difficult to think of any Fury fight I'd like to watch again.

Maybe the Wilder one will change things.

I prefer fighters who entertain in the ring where it counts.

And let's be honest; Frank's image was as tightly controlled as any fighters.
