By Tim Royner: Jarrell Miller says Anthony Joshua is considered too “posh” for the UK boxing fans, and that the more down to earth and humble Tyson Fury has surpassed AJ in popularity. “I’m hearing ‘Tyson Fury, Tyson Fury.’ I’ve been hearing it from the fans, they say ‘AJ’s too posh’. But in the UK, Fury seems to be liked a lot of boxing fans. If Fury beats Deontay Wilder in their rematch, which still needs to negotiated, it’s likely that he will be more popular with the British boxing fans than Joshua. Miller feels that titles are meaningless when it comes to the popularity contest back home in the UK, which is being won by Tyson Fury over three-belt world champion Joshua.
