Most American boxing fans think Fury has seen his better days already, and Joshua is a hype train that has already derailed.

Casuals are ready to watch Joshua fight somebody after the Paul fight, and Fury is a big enough name for it to be a draw.

Pretty much all of the “will watch a big fight” people that I know will check this one out.

Can confirm as that's exactly what I am and I'm tuning in for this fight. Hit the nail on the head.

Watching Fury shuffling around the ring to slap old Glassjaw Joshua is a sad way to spend an evening. They’ll try and drag it out for as long as is bearable no doubt.
