American posters: how popular is Dillian Whyte in the US?

[stefjonno1]

He's hardly popular in the UK lol.

[ifc]

Joshua isn't even a star here so Whyte is a nobody.

[Smash]

about as popular as saddam hussein

[ralex]

He’s only marginally known to boxing fans. To casuals he’s a nobody

"Dillard Whom?!"

-The response I got when I visited Scotland (A country in the UK) and asked about this guy the thread was made to promote.

If he ain't even known in the UK, and hype job AJ is barely known in America, use your brain. If he didn't cry and beg for Wilder while avoiding every opportunity to fight Wilder the last 3 years...Even hardcore fans of the heavyweight division in America wouldn't know who he was...he hasn't done anything. I know the Match Room/Hearns boys hate Wilder- but they also hate the fact that they know who he is lol. We just don't know what tf a "Dillard Whom" is in America. The 7th man for the NY Knicks is more widely known than Dillard Whom here. Thats just for perspective.

99%+ of Americans wouldn't recognize that name if they were told it. Not even exaggerating.

I'd wager that he's more popular than the bum and hypejob Wilder outside of Alabama, no?

We know your poor *ss don't got the money to make that wager. So you'll fall back from that typical British nonsense with a "PRAPUH BANTEEM MAYTE" as always. Dillard Whom ain't even know in the UK lmao.

[DaNeutral.]

It's got fkk all to do with how popular he is. The man has put himself in that number 1 spot for long enough. The longer that guy is left waiting the more this sport is a joke. If they can just screw him around like they have what is the point in world rankings?

But he pulls more crowd in the UK than Wilder does in Alabama.
