Boxing's declining popularity among young American sports fans contrasts sharply with its resonance in the UK and Mexico. Once a staple in family viewing, the sport now faces competition from team sports like football, which foster early loyalties. Although statistics show boxing fans are younger than those of other sports, the overall number of young fans is low. This lack of engagement is amplified by the sport's historical focus and limited opportunities for children to participate, as they tend to play more accessible sports like baseball and football.
Boxing's reliance on history makes it struggle for younger fans, who prioritize current sports and often lack direct participation in the sport.
The perception of boxing as a sport cherished by older figures limits its appeal among young sports fans in America.
