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.

For Boxing fans.

Not to general sports fans.

Once the Klitschko bros took over and America didn't have a Heavyweight champion and with all the PPV bullshite, boxing died in America.

It's just Brits now who give a shite.

I just want to see Wilder vs Joshua in boxing, not MMA.
