Bruno did HP sauce.
Cooper did Brut.
I know hatton is a huge star but has he ever done a TV commercial? To me, a TV ad is the benchmark for national popularity and is probably the way a fighter would most like to make his money.

Chris did one for Nescafe "Thimply the betht"
The Kevin Mitchell ad is just of someone who looks a lot like him.
Larry O was in some advert.
Not an advert as such but Lennox did a TV campaign for recruiting Policeman - "Police: Could you" was the slogan.

I know you asked for British boxers but it went off into international boxers a few posts ago. I remember Muhammad Ali doing at least two adverts in the 1970's - one for Unigate milk and the other for Bird's eye hamburgers with his mum. (If anyone remembers them).

Henry Cooper did one for Crown Paint, one for the NHS promoting the flu jab "get your jab in first"
George "Jim" Cooper joined Henry in an advert for shredded wheat too. I seem to remember Henry doing the voice over for a cat food adver too. The ad showed the cartoon character cat shadow boxing, it got on the bus and went home, talking about nothing better than a nice workout with the boys, when the cat got home, it's Mother said, 'Enry, you been fighting again?!!!
