[QUOTE="FBallFan123, post: 2832709, member: 35697"] Yep. Fury is an incredible personality and showman for boxing. He brings a McGregor/Mayweather type presence to the division. The division feels revitalized. Deontay Wilder-Anthony Joshua was building towards a big fight ... but the division may have gotten a bit stale waiting for it. They were mostly fighting on different sides of the Atlantic, different promoters, different networks ... with no obvious bridge between. Fury’s performance in the first Wilder fight led to the Top Rank contract which brought ESPN into the mix and helped build up the rematch. Top Rank has since gone on a heavyweight signing spree ... ESPN is now heavily invested in the heavyweight division. Fury’s win last night sets him up now as the #1 in the division. I think that is a better situation for making fights compared to when Wilder and Joshua were both thinking they're #1. Plus, PBC/FOX and Top Rank/ESPN worked so well together that maybe they now have a blueprint for other big fights down the line. [/QUOTE]
