In three short sentances someone has at last got it spot on. Well done Tehseen.

But boxing on ITV was sold on the back of his Olympic exploits and his crossover appeal. Now he is a headliner for boxing in this country and therein lies the problem. There is a big gap between where he is as a pro boxer and the hype, PR and expectation that the SN/ITV bandwagon are trying to sell. The trouble is the boxing public (and the wider public to an extent) see this and hold it against him. Somewhat unfairly IMO.
