Klitschko could of been very popular here but he hasn't been able to pull the trigger in forever, and his fights were boring as heck. His personality had nothing to do with being unpopular.
Yeah even Lennox Lewis had trouble building hype here in the U.S. And that was when the sport was much more popular. If Joshua is knocking dudes out he might cross over I just don't know how much.
A lot of casuals here already know who Wilder is and he hasn't even been in a big fight yet. So who knows.
Joshua personality or lack of is a created one, it's all an act due to his MBE/selling point, and thing is it doesn't matter what your personality is if you are knocking people out especially at HW.
I really want Joshua to become great, and to be a star and help carry this sport.
But he has the personality of a hamster, there is just absolutely nothing there. It's going to be hard for him to get much shine here in the U.S. At least.
He is an Olympic champion being built as a future not star, but superstar. He has to appeal to the masses. Nothing wrong with that.
In politics and sports the loud mouth bully has become the preference of a venomous beast we call the 24 hour news cycle.
It's the real Heavyweight Champion.

That's fine in England I'm talking about the U.S. Though.
Any boxer can be a star over there, bums like Haye, Groves, and Audley freaking Harrison can be stars over there, so I have no doubt Joshua will be a star in England.
