which countries is boxing still a top 3 favorite sport...?

Wimbledon gets like 40,000 people per day for two weeks straight every year. Prices are crazy too. TV viewing figures for those two weeks could well be comparable to a whole year of boxing.

In terms of participation tennis is much bigger than boxing.

Boxing is definitely not significantly bigger than Tennis.

The thing is tennis in the UK makes the majority of it's gate from Londoners and foreign tourists. The three noteworthy events (Wimbledon, Queens, ATP World Tour Finals) are all in London.

I'd assume nationwide, especially in the Midlands/North, would all prefer boxing over tennis if you asked them on any given day which they preferred. Don't forget the significant number of football fans who will co-support boxing at any given moment a local fighter rises to prominence.

We're only a few years from Joshua potentially becoming a Heavyweight champion as well, interest will increase tenfold if he can become the future talisman.

Definitely not the third biggest sport.

Football, Rugby (Union/League) and Cricket at the very least are above boxing and Tennis probably is too. If you include Motorsport (I dont) then it would be even further down with F1 and Moto GP.

Boxing gets huge casual attention for specific events or specific fighters, but very few people follow the sport really.

Edit: Forgot about golf too. I dont watch it myself but my FB newsfeed gets spammed anytime there is a big golf tourney on.

Football/Cricket/Rugby in that order would be bigger than boxing, I won't argue with that.

But there's no way more people watch or take part in F1 and Tennis than they do boxing. Especially when it comes to viewership. Now I know F1 is on the bbc but hardly anyone I know watches it over boxing or even UFC. Tennis might have a slightly better argument in terms of participants.

Just my take on it anyway. Football, cricket and boxing have always been my sports. So it doesn't really matter for me how many other people like what.

I'd have a guess and say there are more tennis courts for the public to use than boxing gyms.

Maybe that's just my area though.

F1 has its own dedicated Sky Sports channel and is regularly on primetime BBC participation is obviously different because you have to be rich and the best of the best before you can even reach a decent level in motor racing but in terns of popularity id put it above boxing.
