you mean how witter became huge?
He was popular enough, in his time. Never huge, no, but then, few boxers are nowadays. Even "World" Champions.

Hatton was the exception, not the rule.

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.

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.
