Who will be the next British mainstream boxing star?

Yeah it's quite impressive and will get better as his ability and opposition does too.

 

Yeh but he comes a cross as a nob, isn't in a division that draws much attention from casuals and doesn't have a particularly exciting style. He won't be getting many ko's against descent level fighters and feather fisted punchest tend not to be particularly popular

 

i ain't disputing it, until he steps up it's tough to call how his career will pan out. if he continues to look good there's every chance, he's in a strong division domestically and internationally.

i think that following speaks for the sheffield boxing fan - he's enjoyed a tradition of talented, entertaining and successful fighters from his city so already has an affection for boxing and the gym, so he gets behind his man. if you'll pardon the expression.

 

Definitely Joshua. The casuals love a heavyweight and everything about the lad is top class.

 

Eubank Jnr will need to stop trying to be his dad before he'll get any mainstream exposure. It just screams "FAKE".

Anthony Joshua... seems to have the attributes in the ring at this early stage, but what would he be like on a chat show?

Frampton, Quigg, Galahad, all good lads and good ambassadors for the sport, but they're too small to impress the laydeez in TV land.

 

Campbell is already fairly well known after the Olympics and dancing on ice. I reckon when his boxing career properly takes off he will be it.

Joshua likewise is well known cos of his Olympic win. As someone else said the public love a big hard hitting heavyweight and as he seems a decent lad they will get behind him I reckon.

 

Joshua, Agogo, Campbell, Frampton.

 

If were talking mainstream i.e. Tabloids/chat shows/endorsements it'll be The Don: Anthony Joshua. HW, charismatic, good role model, eloquent, just needs to put the physical work in and sky's the limit esp. with boxing raising it's profile/popularity in the UK in recent years.

 

someone mentioned joshua on a chat show ? i agree he seems a little street lol . but he cant be worse than bruno and he did quite alright ! i think frampton is a national celeb in ireland also worthy of a mention , if he beats santa cruz and then unifys hell be mcguigan mark 2 ! cant believe all the mainstream public press ogogo gets , was gifted a bronze bashed up then in that fight , and though he looks the part , think theres far better fighters around his weight and age ! he was on the gloves r off for christ sake lol !

 

i do agree to a degree mate , but price being deemed the heir apparent for klitschkos throne after beating skelton and mcdermott then getting exposed badly twice against a fringe top 10 guy , will kill the sport more thant keep it going ... joshua though does look the goods but like most hw's need to see him get hit 1st , cos all the power and skill in the world wont plaster over a china chin !

 

Lee Froch , with Furys brother meybee coming in close, Maybee we should have them two get it on for biggest mouth who thinks he can do it trophy .

 

Joshua if he keeps winning,UK heavyweights have always been showcased on talk shows etc!

 

Hughie or Tyson Fury

 

Joshua and Ogogo

 

Joshua definitely, absolute class act in and out the ring. Has the mainstream appeal already with his Olympic success.
