As treasurer of The Knitting Circle, I can officially inform you that, since Tyson Fury's fake AJ and Usyk call outs, our membership has grown by the hundreds of thousands (creeping up near almost a million new members) with more coming in each and every day.
The people want to see a boxing heavyweight champion fight against the best opponents available, not shot to shit friends and opponents with zero pro boxing fights.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have thousands more memberships to approve.

Even his sparring partners are saying he's just in it for the money and nothing else. Whereas, Usyk wants it for his legacy.

But this is a boxing forum, where we discuss Luke's popularity as a boxer, not the gypsy version of Real Housewives of Orange County.

his show on netflix has been popular
That doesn't equate to people having a high opnion or favourable opnion of him. Look at how he has behaved over the last year, a predictable and tiresome fight against a guy who he already bet twice. Then pathetic sagas in the media where he called out both AJ and Usyk, and made all these demands, which he then changed and then called it off. Then when he does return, he's fighting some MMA guy.

I think the Netflix show exposed what a lot of people already knew, that Fury lives a very chaotic life. I’d imagine that element will get worse and worse over time.

Dahmer was a Netflix top rated show too.
That was also about a truly dis-likeable odd ball ...

Ngannou is like Hrgovic, he isn't going anywhere until someone sends him packing. So maybe we will have to live through these bouts first. I have Spence Crawford recorded in my archives, now I want Fury Usyk. And if Fury chooses to retire then I guess Usyk is on his way toward clearing out the division or is it cleaning out? Either way.

Shaking on the floor and having a 3 minute 45 second break has tarnished his legacy.
Respectfully disagree: he has beaten everyone at Cruiserweight, gone up to heavyweight, won 3 out of 4 of the belts, driven his biggest rival into the 'entertainment' industry and, despite repeated low blows, dusted off the next big thing, a hard hitting 25 year old whose promoters said was guaranteed to beat Uysk. He remains the no.1 in the division.
The reality is that outside of Uk and Ireland it's langushing. Not even top 10 in the US and when it was, the best it managed was 10th, for a whole 2 days.
Probably not the wisest post to start when you want to brag about his lineal world champ popularity

Think that show just let us no whats really going on with him , the mental health issues he kept claiming and still does , are not mental health he,s just bored and has a low attention span , give him a focus and he,s on the ball , take it away and he,s all over the place bored shit less , wanting to buy planes and fly to the moon one min ,booking holidays at a days notice the next , too much time and too much money , then he justifies his extravagance by keeping his old passat next to his jeep ,rolls , and the other million pounds worth of cars , when he goes to asda to find kit kats on speciel ! All an act

The true measure of Fury's popularity won't be known until he fights again.

Disgusting slander. Fury is not a ped user. He just sucked off a boar once or twice…
And if Fury chooses to retire then I guess Usyk is on his way toward clearing out the division or is it cleaning out? Either way.
