    In Ireland, Known mostly in boxing circles, he would be known but I don't think many people would pay for his fights if you know what I mean.
    The same with GGG.but maybe a bit more known after his fight with brook.

    Although this fight has been getting a fair bit of publicity around the place, even on local radio stations. So after tonight I think one of them will be well known throughout

        Only boxing fans. They're the only ones that stay up until past 4am to watch foreign fighters boxing.

            he could probably walk down most streets without people knowing who he was. Thats the case for pretty much every international fighter not involved in a big fight over here though.

                Not well known at all. Yeah, nobody would really recognise him unless they're dedicated followers of boxing, maybe the odd casual sports fan but that's about it.

                  Not very. Although he looks just like my Irish friend.
                  Like the others say, ppl know ggg more coz of brook. And coz his name is kinda cool to say when talking boxing.

                  Basically only real boxing fans give a f*k about tonight
