Is AJ the most exciting heavyweight since Iron Mike Tyson?

[Fenster]

The comparison was meant with Mike Tyson, obviously.

Fury is better known by the public than the 2012 Olympic gold medal winner? Fury isn't half the draw Joshua is. He has never headlined a venue that holds more than a few thousand.

Joshua just headlined the 02 (15,000 punters) for a Commonwealth title fight against an opponent that most "hardcore" fans wouldn't have known and has now sold out the 02 (20,000 tickets) in mere hours for a British title fight (and is so popular with the casual fans it will be PPV).

Er yes he has.

He was the main fight on the Excell arena dhow that 20,000 went to

Eubank jr-Billy Joe sold that card. His fights either side were in a half empty Copperbox (which holds 7000) and a 85% empty O2.
