Anthony Joshua v Deontay Wilder fight slips away again but Briton emerges as biggest winner
There is no doubt a billing of this magnitude, featuring household names Joshua and Wilder, would have sold out a stadium in the UK or Las Vegas' biggest arenas within seconds.
Fight-week events would be open to the public, with fans scrambling for photos and autographs.
