And Anthony Joshua has explained why he believes it is a good thing for boxing.
Asked whether he is a fan of crossover boxing ‘AJ’ said:
“10/10. It’s good for boxing.”
“It’s showing people you can fight someone that is well known, credible, can fight, it’s marketable without a championship and can have that same effect early on in your career.
“You can still get all the rewards anyway so I think they are showing guys that there is so much potential in boxing regardless of championships.
“I think it’s good because people start taking more risks early on.”
