The argument could be made that current IBF, IBO, and WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is the biggest draw in the sport of boxing.

Joshua drew 90,000 fans to attend his fight against Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley in London last April, where he was able to win the fight via late stoppage. He then drew 78,000 fans in in Cardiff from the Principality Stadium when he finished Carlos Takam.

He's expected to draw the same number for his unification bout with WBO world champion Joseph Parker on March 31st. 

Initially the heavyweight division of boxing was lacking star power; before the likes of Joshua, Tyson Fury, and Deontay Wilder came along. 

In a recent interview Joshua stated he believes he's the driving force behind the reawakening of boxing's heavyweight division, bringing life back to the once famed weight class (quotes via Boxing Scene):

"I'm not worrying about who is behind me," Joshua told Sky Sports. "I think I'm leading the pack, and that's the way it's going to stay. I'm serious about my business, and they're all welcome.

"They can all come and watch for sure, and it brings attention to what I'm doing in the UK.

"If I wasn't leading the way, there would be no eyes on the division. The division was dead, and we brought life back to it. We're in position for a reason and I definitely won't let it slip.

"Perfection is driving me," Joshua said. "I have been boxing now 10 years, so I've learned my trade, and I'm starting to become a lot more confident.

"I had ability before, and now I've got a lot of belief with it, and it's a good mixture.

"If you've got belief, your body does what the mind tells it, so I had the ability but I think I just lacked the confidence, and I feel like I'm definitely gaining a lot of confidence.

"I'll be able to do a lot more when I step in the ring, because I'm not worried about anything."
