#BBB NEWS| Barry Hearn: Anthony Joshua Inspires People Like Tiger Woods - He Could Become Boxing's First Billionaire

Matchroom Sport chief Barry Hearn believes Anthony Joshua has the potential to draw new legions of fans to boxing, just as Tiger Woods did with golf.

Joshua, who is signed to Matchroom Boxing, stopped Wladimir Klitschko in the 11th round of their Wembley clash to seal his status as the biggest name in boxing on Saturday night.

The 27-year-old now holds the IBF, WBA and IBO belts, and Hearn believes his stunning performances and likeable persona appeal beyond the boundary of normal boxing fans.

“All sports need flag-bearers,” said Hearn. “The Joshua effect is very similar to the Tiger Woods effect in golf, where people who are not so interested suddenly become interested, where young people become aspirational to follow in someone’s footsteps.

#BBB NEWS| Floyd Mayweather Speaks On Racism In Boxing

Racism is still alive and well and according to Floyd Mayweather, very obvious in boxing. In a recent interview with Fight Hype, the retired champion discussed The Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound rankings which saw Andre Ward placed at number 4, a standing Mayweather considers unfair because Ward has yet to lose a fight.

“I can’t believe they [Ring Magazine] got Andre Ward ranked number four in the pound-for-pound list,” he said. “Even though the guy that’s ranked number one pound-for-pound right now, you know, you can’t argue about that, but without Andre Ward losing a fight, he has to be number two.”

Holding the top spot instead is Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez, an undefeated Nicaraguan fighter who, out of 44 fights has won 38 by knockout.
