Soccer and Boxing is all they have in the UK. There isn't much room for black star athletes of a sport that is on its deathbed in terms of popularity. Think before you pull out the race-card.

What about, Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, Darts, F1, Rally, Snooker just a few British sports off the top of my head.

No one is pulling the race card. You're overreacting to my observation of how UK fans don't care about color. And boxing/soccer, whether it's true not, being the only sport they have left does not take away that England considers their black citizens "British" instead of "African British".

My point is nobody really gives a shhh about Errol Spence outside of true boxing fans because Errol hasn't done shhh and boxing is a dying sport in the US, not because he's not not a negro.

You say that Errol Spence Jr. would be a bigger star if he was in the UK, and I agree. However, that premise does not support the conclusion that black fighters are less appreciated in the US. I think nobody really gives a ish about boxing in the US.

Errol Spence stopped Charles hatley in training?

This fight is a lot for Spence given the experience gap, style matchup, and size. Tough for your.1rst world title shot.

If you truly believe that, then brace yourself to be SHOCKED!!

He gets taken the distance by Kell Brook via "excessive" clinching, loses a SD.

Lol....I could see that happen cuz they ain't gonna give Spence the decision, they would steal it from him.
