He’s boxing’s biggest star, yet I’ve never heard of him. Boxing is dead.

It's crazy how many boxers use to be household names.

Now it's like 1 or 2.

Exactly.

I somewhat follow boxing. Very loosely these days. Never heard of this guy.

because he's not boxing's biggest star... GGG, Canelo, Pac, and Wilder are bigger, not counting Mayweather

If you even casually follow the sport, I find that hard to believe. He's an international superstar at this point. You've seriously never heard of the guy? An Olympic gold medalist, heavyweight champion, and a guy who sold out a 90,000 seat stadium?

Did no one hear of Joshua v Klitschko at Wembley? Jesus, it was one of the biggest sporting events of the year (and ended Klitschko's career).

I'd amend your statement to read that boxing is currently on life support in the U.S. because we have no heavyweight superstars. Not that boxing is dead.

That says more about you than the sport.

Boxing is a worldwide sport. He's loved by England. He could spend his entire career fighting in Europe and retire with 9 figures.

Don't tell Wilder fans that

They think he's a bigger draw than AJ
