He was popular enough, in his time. Never huge, no, but then, few boxers are nowadays. Even "World" Champions.Adamj1987 wrote:you mean how witter became huge?whicker wrote:One suggestion, just treat it like any other job, and get on with it- if you are good enough, the publicity will find you!
Hatton was the exception, not the rule.

Re: not so well known boxers, Like myself.....
just ring ur local newspaper and tell them about urself, if ur wanting national coverage like other top prospects and established fighters then am sorry but you have to EARN that right, goodluck.
Re: not so well known boxers, Like myself.....
Another good tip is saying you'd like to get stuck into Cheryl Cole, or changing your name by deed pole to 'Tyson'. All the best!!
Re: not so well known boxers, Like myself.....
Basically to echo what other people have said... the first people to hear about you/watch you will be the locals so use the local press...
...maybe try to get yourself invited to local schools to talk to them about how boxing saved you from prison (I'm guessing here but fill in the blanks). Don't just turn up at Sports Day they have a list for people like that.

Re: not so well known boxers, Like myself.....
Try approaching your local paper/local radio station to get some coverage. If you build up a good reputation and you keep winning things will soon spread.
These days every division has lots of prospects with records built against all the same journeymen and losers. National papers aren't going to cover them all.
