    I don`t think AJ is well known in the rest of Europe but he is well known in Britain, I don`t know how many countries in Europe have access to his fights and those countries only know fighters from their homeland, beating Wlad would have got a lot of views in Germany though because that`s where Wlad had most of his fights and was well liked there too.

    Mike Tyson was a global superstar too, people in Britain started called the staff dogs Tyson because of his menacing look.

    Here in the Netherlands AJ's fights are shown on live TV
    Germany has no boxing stars at the moment

    Hard to say without actually living in another country to know how well known Joshua is, though I don't think he'll be as well known as he is in the UK, but then very few sports stars are as big as him in the UK. Looking at the wiki page for Joshua/Parker that fight was aired in 37 different countries/regions, many of them in Europe. Though that was a unification fight, him fighting someone like Miller might not get the same interest.

    Kevin Johnson is a lot more popular then I thought. He is big in Japan.
