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

Truthfully, he's a complete unknown (0/100) for the casual sports fan. Within boxing fan circles, he's known but has virtually zero fan base. I kind of like the dude and think he's pretty damn funny though. Regardless of what he may be due, though, he's got to forget about Wilder, AJ and Fury for the moment. Let's have Whyte v Ruiz. That's a great fight that will make him a name over here.

Everyone in America knows Dylan's white. And a great singer-songwriter. And...ohhhh. DILLIAN WHYTE. Nevermind. Agree with this:

Nobody knows who he is outside of boxing hardcores.

Actual US boxers aren't even popular, why would anybody know a dude that only fought once in his career here?

The huge arenas and the big PPV money in America only comes from truly important heavyweight fights (of the Ali-Frazier Ali-Foreman Fury-Wilder type) and a handful of superstars that have transcended the sport to, for example, be a guest on a late night talk show or a "Saturday Night Live" host.
