      I think if Joshua continues his winning ways that he will draw new fans into the sport whether black / white or whatever. Last time I was in the UK (Nottingham/London ) the couple times I talked boxing people seemed to really like Anthony.

      Unlike what Addix thinks I like Joshua's personality I don't find his persona a act he's just a chill honest dude. I wish him nothing but the best but I'm not 100% convinced he's the heir appearent to the HW throne

        IDK about an entirely new fanbase but if he continues on, he will have fans from all over....when he fought in Scotland in his only 5th fight the sellout crowd cheered him him like he was the champ already.

          He's already brought new fans.

          It happens when you get a Olympic gold medalist at super heavyweight.

              As an American fan I can say that Joshua has almost no exposure here and certainly hasn't made an impact on most boxing fans I know, but then he's still very early in his career. Who knows? If he keeps winning impressively he'll definitely turn some heads.
